Don't get your oil changed at the stealership. Get the German ******************************** or whatever the place is called to do it for you. It's an issue of price, which will probably be $125 vs. $280.

And if the $125 freaks you out, remember, you're pouring 9.25 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic in the motor plus a filter, O-ring, and crush washer for the drain plug. The parts and fluid alone are $85.

Upside: Only needs to be changed once a year or 7,500 miles (Porsche says something like 15k, but they're full of crap according to a vast majority of forum members).

--------------------------------------

There are no German ********************************' around my area. I'm not too familiar with the Porshe yet, can any German-Import service center change the oil?
