Hi everyone,
I've had my GT3 with 3,300 miles for ~2 weeks and took it to Porsche of Bellevue for its first oil change. Before I bought it the car has been garaged in a car collection and has seen no track time. Prosche of Bellevue is trying to tell me I need to change spark plugs and flush the breaks with every oil change. Sounds a bit ludicrous to change the spak plug after 3,300 miles, any suggestions from the group? Should I just do as I'm told?
Thanks in advance for your help.

MY GT3 is a '16 and it was in for its annual service last November, at the time I had 2,500 miles on the car . So I asked my service advisor what are we going to do this time, he said oil change and I said we should probably do a brake flush he agreed, then I asked how about plugs I read in the manual something about 3,000 miles he said forget about that no need at this time. The car runs great.

Here is my bible:
- Replace plugs every 12k or 2 year, whichever comes first.
- Replace Air Filter every plug change
- Replace coils every plug change, but not less than every two years.
- Replace brake fluid 1 time per year, monitor H20 levels every pre track inspection.
- Replace PDK oil every 4 years, not 6 years.
- Engine Oil & filter every 6-8 track days.
- Replace cabin air filters every two years
- Inspect and verify no play in RWS
- Replace Serpentine belt every 4 yrs. Replace air filters at the same time.
- Follow the Racing Circuit service manual for all other scheduled Mx.
