That, and the oil alone (nine quarts of Mobil-1 synth) generally costs near $100. Combined with the fact that the *specified* oil service interval is now 20,000 miles and you're not looking at a humongous cash outlay in order to do oil changes.

Are you saying you only change your oil every 20k? Does Porsche have some special oil filter that last this long? I know the synthetic oil will last 10-15k but the filter...

D.I.Y. requires;
- 10 Quarts of Mobil 1 0-40 Oil, $65-70
- Oil Filter,O-ring for Filter and Drain Plug washer, $10-15
- 1/2 to 1 full hour depending on how much crap you like cleaning up around the engine bay while your down there.

Ok, yeah 10qts does make the price pretty much double from what I'm used to but you still save a train-load of cash
