Does anyone have the definitive answer as to what the oil change intervals should be?
Had my Boxster serviced by a local indy for two years and each time they reset the oil service it pops up 12 months later even when the first time they did it they thought they has changed it to 24 months in the software so as to coincide with the intermediate/major services.
From November last year I started to service the car myself and I reset everything when finished.
But of course the oil service warning has just popped up again.
Now since last November I have done less than 1500 miles.
But the engineer in me (was a mechanical engineer for 40 years) tells myself to change it 12 monthly regardless.
What is the official oil change interval?
What do other DiY owners do with the oil changes?
Went and bought 2 x 5 litres of Mobil 1 3000 X1 5w-40 yesterday when I realised I still have about 7.5 litres of the same oil from what I had bought just over a year ago.
