changing the oil early.....I would not recommend it. I did it and dissected the filter and I found nothing to warrant an early change. Now you may want to do it for piece of mind but in my case it was not necessary. It turns out the associated cost for me was not an issue since it was waived but the real concern is the more opportunities the dealership has to fiddle with the car the more problems they can potentially create.[/QUOTE]
It's up to the individual but I personally see very little point for yourselves. Your recommended oil change intervals in the U.S are already twice as frequent as those recommended by Porsche U.K. Here it's 20,000 miles or every 2 years whichever comes soonest (and that's the first change). The only thing I would say regarding our service intervals is that although it doesn't seem to cause any problems, it wouldn't nip any potential problems in the bud either. I've always regarded 2 years as too long for at least some sort of vehicle inspection to take place. In fairness to the U.K dealer network they do provide free yearly vehicle inspection clinics should you wish to attend.
