Porsche requires that if you drive your car less than 9,000 miles per year that you change the oil at least annually anyway. They require an annual maintenance for cars driven less than 9,000 miles per year. The fluids in the car including the oil can change chemically over a year and form acids that can break down gaskets and other seals and hoses. I just picked up some Mobil One 0W - 40W today at Walmart here on Long Island. If you have to take a drive out the the Island or NJ and find a Pep Boys, Auto Zone or Walmart, Target to pickup your oil.
