So the snow has melted and we have a few nice days. I put the insurance back on the boxster fired it up and took it for a nice drive . Man I forgot how well this handled after a few months without. I put just over 2000 miles last season with no place to go due to the pandemic. Normally I get about 5000 in a summer. I changed the oil last spring with Mobil 1. Do I really need to change it again with just 2000 miles on that last change. Yes it’s been in there a year. I’ve read articles written by oil engineers that claim you can go 3 years without worrying about it. I know the ims thing. Just thought I would ask the community. You pull the stick and it looks like I just put it in there.
