At what mileage did you do your first oil change?

I just crossed over the 2000 mile mark yesterday and thinking if it might be best practice to change the break-in oil.

Your thoughts?

I did my first change at 1000 mi. and sent a sample to Blacksone. Filled with Motul X-Cess 5W-40, pick your favorite flavor.

Thanks Alan.

Question.... Why did you change from the factory Mobil 1 0-40..?

R.Deacon

Phil I logged 2k break in miles then 2 track days in first two weeks then changed at dealer

Just under 3K miles, just before putting it to bed for the winter.

First one at 1,000 miles.
Then every 5,000 or at least yearly.
Mobil 5W50*

*on sale now at Napa for $5.99 and use the Mobil rebate for $12 off per case, limit 2.

I did a change when I finished break-in, then once a year thereafter. (I never come close to hitting the mileage limit...)

To answer your question, Phil, I'd do a change now on your car.

Phil, I've used Motul in the last 5 cars. Recommended to me by Steve Weiner.

I changed the oil to motul 300V 5w-40 at 400km! Will change again when I reach 1,000km

inactiveuser7616

Wow! You really got to driving that thing! Love it!

inactiveuser7616

This is great! Where do you see the limit of two? Two rebates or two cases?

I also changed at 1000miles. Had to twist my OPC's arm to do it as they thought it was nonsense. They them proceeded to include their standard tyres pressure check and emissions measurement in the process, doubling the time a change should take. Really demonstrates the official Porsche centres often don't have a clue, but I wanted their stamp.
