ive yet to get my 997s serviced but i wouldnt think supplying oil will make any difference to the cost of the seervice as its all part of what they charge im sure. i have done circa 1500 miles since getting my 997s and have only added half a litre of oil...the best place to buy it apparently is from costco as they do it cheaper in bulk. whats the details of your car?? have u had it long? what model did u get???

Hi mate I have a 2006 Carrera 2. Ive had it a couple of months but it needs service around xmas time. It has done 9000 miles
Is that all you need 5 litres? Seems like there is a big saving to be made by supplying my own oil? Thanks anyway
Also is ther a discount on service for PCGB membership

You can indeed supply your own oil.. many do and Costco seems the cheapest.
You should get a discount from the OPC on your service, however check prior as some are a bit tight offering it.[
]Some will do it on the bill whilst others only on parts used, for an annual service thats not alot of parts.
Majority of the time you can save your at least your membership costs via the service discount [

Oil, Yep thats Porsche service for you, however I'm sure that rather thanthe trade Costco Halfords would work out 'similar' in cost.
As far as service goes, its supposed to be fixed price unless you can get a good releationship/deal with your service assistant- which I'm pleased to say I do []
20k already Chris!! []

I can't be of much help on the differing oil prices, but just pleased to see that like myself you like actually driving your Porsche. I've done about 12k in 10 months in my own. Am I bothered it'll affect residuals? What, and to have missed all that glorious driving - not a chance in the world!

Get them driven!
Since getting mine from on OPC in March I have clocked 7000 glorious miles and us it every day. I kept my 996 as a low mileage garage queen for years and go no more for it than if it had double the mileage.
To hell with residuals - use them and enjoy.
