Great post. I'm not much good with the spanners so taking my GTS cab in for an early change next week. Will have done about 1150.
My question: what did the oil look like when it came out? Did it make you feel glad you'd done the change? Head tech at my OPC looked at me like I was mad when I booked it in, but the guy at my local indy seemed to think it would be mechanically unsympathetic to do otherwise.

You're not going to "see" much with an oil change unless something is way off-spec. They only way to "see" something is with an UOA. See my post here to see what factory fill looks like after about the same mileage you plan to change at (smart move, BTW!):

"Potentially" catastrophic because oil is flammable and your 911 boot is packed full of hot exhaust components!

Changed the oil (Suncoast filter kit and Mobil 1 5w-50) for the first time yesterday on my 13 C4 after 4000 miles and it was black and nasty looking.

I'm just over 20,000 miles. Getting my 5th oil change done this Wednesday. I'll update my UOA thread in a couple weeks.
