Re: Opinions on Early Oil Change.
I just passed 10k miles in my Turbo and I decided I didn't want to wait until the 20k Porsche recommended first oil change. So I went out and bought 8L of Mobil 1 0W-40, took it to Porsche and asked them to change it for me.
They charged me 1 hour labor (!!) and replacement filters etc. The whole thing (with oil) cost me £200.
Today I went out for a 2 hour spin and the engine is definitley more smooth now.
So I would say it was definitley worth it, and I plan on changing my oil every 10k miles from now on.
