Default Latest software update

Hi All,

My dealer has informed me that the latest software update for the 991 GT3 is available. I'm not sure what version it is. Has anyone updated this yet ? and feedback ?

Recode Svc Interval
The coding of the interval for the oil change service is incorrectly interpreted by the instrument cluster. As a result, the corresponding warning is not displayed in the instrument cluster with regard to the due date of an oil service change. Although the interval for a required oil change has already been reached.
Recode the service interval as per campaign WF38 and update the warranty and maintenance booklet if necessary
I looked in the booklet and saw that the tech had applied stick-on replacement pages over pages 15 & 16. (Oddly the tech stuck a metric (km instead of miles) page, page number 18, over my original page number 16. I think that was a mistake. I don't recall what my original page 16 and I can't peel off the stick-on page "18"). Anyhow, below are photos of both pages. Note the 6000 mile or 12 months oil change requirement. You'll also see that it includes GT3RS and GT4 maintenance intervals.

This recall was issued late 2015, if I recall correctly.

The dealer should have recoded the software and provided new service interval sheets for the manual during the recall. That's how mine was done anyway.

A couple of weeks ago, I was told that I had got a DME/PDK software update, and a fuel regulator module replacement as part of the latest advisory.

They finally realised what the common sense here suggested long time ago
a oil n filter change every 5k miles on a competition engine is intuitive

when they will underline break-in procedure
and anti crap gas directions for dummies?

Interesting. Wonder if this is related to the PDK shift issue many of us have experienced when fuel is low. Thanks for the info.
