Oil Change

[spud]

I made an initial change at around 1200 miles (guess I am one of those types). With a purchase, I would change it so you know it has been done and know exactly what is being used.

Hey...an old thread back from the dead!!! Rail, do as bruce says and you should be more than fine. I don't even keep my receipts for the crap i bought. I just write down the date and mileage in my owners manual when I do the maintenence.

I just purchased an '05 Boxster. The manual states first service isn't due till 20k. Anyone here go that far? I can't imagine so myself. I don't have 2k on it yes but plan on doing it at 2500 or so. I have used Mobil 1 exclusively since it came to market and even with it's extended protection I can't see letting it stay in that long during break in.

Any thoughts, guys?

I think if depends on how long you think you are going to keep you car. If you tend to hold on to your car post-warranty, I would change the oil and filter every 7500 miles with M1 0W-40.

If you are the kind of guy who sells or trades when warranty is over or before, I would NOT spend ANY extra money on services like this.

Hope that helps.

I intend to keep this a long time.

So, changing at 7500 is OK for first change as well?
