Been a long time: Upgrading to GT PT

[wunderboyblue]

Howdy folks from Nashville! Just wanted to say
that I am back. Used to post as Magic8ball, but couldn't
seem to get that log on to work anymore.

So, to celebrate the trading in of my old Black
2001 PT Limited, for a Brand new 2004 Electric Blue GT PT,
I've re-registered under "wunderboyblue" instead.
Cannot wait, as I get to pick her up on Tuesday!

I have received much needed advice from this wonderful
forum many times before - and it has been appreciated.

Anything right off the bat that a new "Turbor Owner"
should be aware of on a 2004 GT PT....?

Hope all of your are doing well and enjoying the
holiday weekend!

Just make sure you let her cool down before you shut her off! and use premium!

I have been noticing some posts about this.
Appreciate the response, so how long do you
usually let your's idle before shut-down?

The Owner's Manual says 1 minute for normal driving and 3 minutes for highway driving (or WOT driving). Congrats on your new GT--great car and sharp color! [8D] [8)]

Thank you Gary04GT! I am new to the whole Turbo
thang on my car. Once I test drove one, after
driving a 2001 Limited for 3yrs... I had to have one.
I will have to study up on the finer details here,
as I want this car to last forever!

In that case be sure to change over to a synthetic oil like Mobil 1 5W-30 somewhere between 3-6K miles. [|)]

Actually the manual states no cool down needed for normal driving, 3 min for hard driving, 5 min for towing. But who's counting. If you have a good synth. oil, you are one step ahead. Do a synthetic change at your first change. I did mine around 800 mi.
