Default Changing oil after break in

So due to Covid I didn't have access to my car ( 2.5 GTS) for almost a year. My wife done the yearly maintenance last July at 2000km now the car Odometer at 3000KM . Is it better to change the oil again or just wait for the next service ?

So, you did an oil change in July 2020? You are due for another oil change, regardless of miles, July 2021. Hope you can enjoy your Porsche more this driving season. Your wife sounds like a keeper!

Regular maintenance is a must to keep your warranty, or allowing you to buy an extension.
And remember that "just sitting" can be harder on a car, including the oil, than regular driving.
