There's a couple reasons for the long service interval.

1. it's politically-correct
2. 3000-mile service intervals are kind of silly with modern tech
3. These engines have a "dry-sump" setup so the oil doesn't sit in a grimy oil pan, collecting crap.
4. Nine quarts of oil can dilute a lot of crap.

I change my oil every 10,000 anyhow.

OK. I wasn't thinking about all of those things.

Something about 10k just sounds better to me, but I'm coming from a "different" world. I agree 3k is overkill. I try to change 5-7k.


Sorry for whoring up your guys forum

Sorry, I'm sure you get that all the time. Unless it's some obviously girly name I just assume everyone is a guy. My Bad

HEY MOLTEN.
It was me you tried to race. Thanks for coming to the forum. If you wanna race you can go against my gsx, only making around 540hp. enjoy.
See you on 25a. I still will not race you. Boxster 2.5 = the speed of a school bus. Turns like a go cart though.
