Poll on adding oil between oil changes

[joecal]

That's good to hear these engines don't seem to burn oil. I haven't changed mine yet, I just bought it last July and only put on maybe 200 miles if that. I'll probably change it next spring, the car has around 111,500 miles on it and it's a 99 with a 2.5 ltr.

I have a 1999 Boxster.
I've had it since 2009. I purchased it with 104,000 miles.
I now have 262,000 miles on it and I change the oil & filter every 10,000 miles.
I use either Mobil 1 or Royal Purple.
I have never had to add oil between oil changes. The IMS is original.

If you're gonna store the car over the winter, at least change it before storage. Otherwise your bearing will be sitting in dirty oil all winter. I change it in the fall before storage and again in the spring when I take it out.
