oil change
Has anyone found a factory description of the mechanics of a 991 oil change? There are many DIYs out there. Has anyone changed the oil and filter(?)s in a 991?

Moss Magnison Act I seem to recall that this law expressly provides that non dealer service will not void warranty. It's a dim memory as the last time I looked at that law was in preparation for bar exam in ....summer of 1980. Bar exam, the ultimate learn than flush experience.

It won't void your warranty. You can do it yourself or have an indy do it. In either event just keep track of the mileage when work was done, keep all receipts, and you will be fine. As for type of oil, as long as you use a name brand full synthetic of the proper grade as recommended in your manual there will be no issues.
They went on to tell me that the service recorder (?) shows my oil wasn't changed since 60 months ago...which is when I bought my CPO car. They are using this against me and telling me that I am just generating invoices. The fact is, my oil was changed within the recommended guidelines, with invoice. THis service recorded should be a non issue anyways as far as i'm concerned. I have a receipt for oil change.
Do any of you know what it is that has to be on this record to show them that the oil change was done ?
this is ridiculous.

+1. Or have the mechanic sign an Affadavit stating that the work was done and present it to PCNA if you are not at the suing PCNA phase yet. If your mechanic is on the up and up and did the work as he said he did, he should have no problems signing that affadavit.

My mechanic will not have a problem signing an affadavit. Never thought of that route, but I'll try it first.
