    When will you be servicing your car?

    My car now has 10,000km on it. According to Porsche, I don't need to service the car for another 20,000km. My question to you guys is, when are you going to service (or at least change oil and filters) your cars? 30,000km is just rediculously long...

    I asked my dealer the same question and they told me once a year would be fine. I only have about 3700 miles on mine at this point. Most likely I will end up with about 8000 miles on mine this year.

    My dealer recommends 7500 mile oil changes, or at least once a year. I tried to get him to change my oil today at 2600 and he politely refused... <g>

    Re: When will you be servicing your car?

    I'll take mine in at the one year mark, next February. I have 3,615 miles on it now and should have 7,500 -8,000 miles on it when I take it in then. I will get the oil and filter change as well as have them look over the brakes, etc. That is what my salesman originally recommended and that makes senses to me at this time.

    Re: When will you be servicing your car?

    I plan to change my own oil @ 10K intervals. I'll take it to the dealer at 20K intervals to check everything else. Doing an oil change yourself is $50, letting the dealer do it costs $180 + $400 or so for the visual checks and air filter changes.

    Re: When will you be servicing your car?

    Will probably follow mfgrs reccos (two years?) but will change oil at home after a year.

    Would prefer to bring in for service at one year so they can check torques of various bolts and hose clamps and other stuff but don't really want to spend a day screwing around getting car to preferred dealer service 100 miles away.

    oh well... .
