new owner with a question

[mikefocke]

debris in the oil filter housing that made him glad he had changed his oil then. Since his other P-car is a Boxster with 210k+ miles on it and since he is in the business, his opinions are somewhat interesting. He has expressed his opinion that very soon after delivery, at maybe 1k miles again and at 5k and thereafter every 5k is about right.

Others who have studied the oil taken out of the cars in the lab recommend 5k and call the factory recommendations the worst kind of marketing BS.

You take your pick of who to believe.

JMC - at least on the Australian model, the build date of the car is in the front bootspace (frunk) behind the left side carpeting. You will see 2 or 3 plastic push in plugs, remove them & pull back the flap to reveal the info.

Do a proper engine break-in. Read your owner's manual about it.

I also recommend an oil change at about the 1,000 mile mark. And then every year or 5-7K miles, whichever comes first.

Sounds like a great car. Congrats!
