Who has the highest mileage 992?

I took my 19 month old 992 to Porsche yesterday for its first oil change. They did a full inspection and changed the brake fluid too.

I turned up at 9.30 am, borrowed an office and their wi-fi for 2 hours, did some work made some calls paid £750 and left all done. Next service @40,000 miles.

Nothing turned up, the car is perfect. They said mine was the highest mile car under their care

Spent some time talking to the technicians. They say the healthiest cars are the ones that get loads of miles put on them and are serviced regularly.

No flat batteries, no flat spotted tyres, no exhausts rusting from the inside out etc.

I bet there must be some 992s out there that have loads more miles?

Interested to know!

So you did first oil change at 30k miles?

My car of 12 months only has 6000 miles on it to answer your question.

It had done 20,000 miles

I've got more than 21k miles on my 992 C4S and I'll cross 23k miles sometime this weekend.



First oil change was at around 8k miles (August 2020) as I was getting ready to embark upon a 3800 mile road trip. Second service was 10k miles later (May 2021) per Porsche's (PCNA) recommended service schedule. Third service/second oil change will likely be before the end of the year. It's true. The best thing that you can do for a 911 is drive it. The techs and my service center said the same thing.

At 19k miles, I did a write up of my experience here...

The service intervals recommended by Porsche (PCNA aka USA) are every 10k miles, or one year, whichever comes first. For low mileage folks, you don't drive it, you still need to bring it for service.

For the UK, it's 20k miles and every two years, though they do recommend a quick annual inspection. For a guy who grew up with 3k mile oil changes, that feels like a long time, but that's what Porsche recommends in the UK. Given your use of GBP, I presume that you're in the UK.

Yes indeed, Boston UK. I have New York and Bunkers Hill up the road from me (the first ones!).

Interesting how its 20,000 miles in the UK and every 10,000 miles in the US. I was thinking of sneaking one in, but I didnt in the end.

The guy who removed the oil said it still looked pretty new after 20k. I would hope so!

In the UAE it's every 10,000KM.
Having said that, I received my car 18 days ago, and I've driven 900km so far.

There was a poll a few weeks ago on the topic. There are just a handful of us with more than 20k miles on our cars.

I recall that @crimewave had the highest accumulated miles of the 992s on RennList. He was ahead of me, but I haven't seen him post lately.

My 2021 C2S has 10,200 miles over 9 months, that includes 2 autocross events and 1 track day. It's in for the 10K mile service right now.

Not that mine is with highest miles (11k), but - I'm glad to read this thread and also feel that these cars are meant to be driven. Commuting everyday i was starting to be a little concerned about the highway miles i put on this car, but then why did I pay all this money? To drive it, enjoy it. Take care of it, drive it, and it will be a great car.

Yes indeed, If I ran mine up to 400,000 miles I would be very happy.

Cannot imagine a better way to clock up 400,000 miles.

I have often thought about mileage. I always look at the odometer in taxis at the airport.

I often see run of the mill taxis with 500,000 miles up, still on the original engine and box and driving OK.

Not point in saving it for the next guy!

Reminds me of the Ford taxis we used to have in Melbourne. Their diff's would get noisy around 200,000km's, it was a routine maintenance task just like an oil change. Some of those cars did well over a million km's on one engine.

You can do more damage to these cars letting them sit than you can by driving them. Cars that have sat can be very expensive propositions.

Not as many miles as Detansinn but 6 months in im at 11118 miles. It's my only vehicle.
