Boxster OIL

[jcb986]

I believe the synthetic leaves less residue compared to regular oil, also the it has a superior lubrication than regular oil.

I know that this is an old post, but I am having the same quandary. My reason is that I only drive my car about 2500 miles per year. Yes, I do autocross 8-10x per year, but I don't consider that to be overly taxing on the engine since the actual racing/driving time is limited to 4 minutes in the autocross.

Do I need to change the oil every year given my lower mileage? If so, is using synthetic oil still justifiable?$$?

regardless of miles driven, i would still do an oil change each year and stick with synthetic. the cost should be negligible.
