I just bought my first porsche boxster today. It's a 1999 with only 55km's(Canadian car)
According to the service records most of the major service including the last oil change was done at 49km but that was in 2005. The previous owner is a retired cop and he only insured it during summer so he only drove it an average of 1000km's a year since then. I read a lot of conflicting info on synthetic oil wear and life but does anyone think I need to get a fresh oil change right away?
