I think they justify this marketing hype on the miles because it would be very difficult to put 20k on a Porsche in a 12 month time period, even as a daily driver.

No one else can justify it though!

You said it, Marketing Hype, what are they thinking? Ah heck, why don't they just say, "no maintenance required, ever."

Porsches do hold a lot of oil, some of which is used for cooling and I don't think Porsche would make a recommendation that would harm their vehicles, However, in a world where their engines have been known to just quit working, I'd err on the frequent change side my own self.

You can bet that whatever Porsche is doing is in their best interests, not yours.

Which American company breaks ranks in that same regard? you don't really think there is a Restless Leg Syndrome do you? Robert Kline invented that syndrome as a comedy act, I can't stop my leg! All companies screw their customers, in America we call that capitalism.



If what you are saying is they make this statement figuring the car will need replacement sooner, I don't think I can agree with that.

I can't argue with that, Saab has been unbelievable to my dad , the Porsche dealer in my hood is greedy and indifferent. My dad's car is in the shop they toss him the keys to a brand new drop top turbo with about 4k on the clock. It's smart business, he has repurchased there because of it, Porsche doesn't seem to care.

I am sure the 12,000 mile interval for 986 cars works great for the typical Boxster owner who never exceeds 4,000 RPM and spends most of the time cruising up and down the interstate.

For those of us that, use our cars it's a different story.
