Change engine oil and oil filter

The service intervals apply under normal driving conditions. However, we strongly recommend that you check the air filter every 15,000 miles/24,000 km and if necessary, have it replaced. (Fuel filter replacement is recommended every 60,000 miles/96,000 km).
And we get cars in the shop regularly that are more than 10 years old, and with less than 20K miles on them..........
Either your "literature" is out of date, or your mis-quoting it. For example, the spark plug interval on my 987S also states "or every 6 years". For the 993 Turbo it is every 3 years, no mention of mileage. If owners change plugs when they are suppose to (time sensitive), anti seize is not necessary, and why it is not Porsche recommended.
