The oil should be changed every 5000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. A yearly inspection/maintenance should also be conducted and the computer reset at the time.
The
"Service Now" nag screen will appear if it has not been reset in a year. This usually happens when an owner changes his own oil and conducts his own inspection/maintenance.
You can get your oil changed at a Porsche dealer ($$$$$) and they will reset the computer, or do it yourself ($), and get a scan tool to reset it yourself. Also, follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your owners manual.
