After performing an oil change, it was time to clean up the NSX and get it ready for summer. Here it sits after a wash and a fresh coat of wax. The wheels still need some love, but I didn't want to contaminate the wash mitt that I use on the rest of the car. I also vacuumed and wiped down the the interior. I'm by no means a car detailing nut, but it's satisfying to make sure the NSX presents well.
Unlike the 911, the NSX has been an easy car to own. After catching up on some deferred maintenance, it required a set of tires at the six month mark. That trend continues past the year mark. Since having the tires installed, I performed an oil change. I'm beginning to think reporting on life with the car at six month intervals is overkill (knocks on wood). Life with the Porsche meant being on a first name basis with a service advisor at our local Porsche dealer. In contrast, life with the NSX has settled into the pattern: drive, add gas & check oil, occasionally wash. Repeat. Not surprisingly, the oil change was easy. I followed the instructions on the NSX Prime Wiki with one modification. To prevent the oil from the filter draining on the rear suspension components, I placed newspaper, folded at crease, over the suspension before removing the filter. As planned, the oil drained over the paper into the oil pan, leaving the suspension untouched. Easy breezy. G
