Alright not a major problem but as a warning to others take care when cleaning the filler cap area. A few days earlier I had spilled a few drops of fuel while removing the filler nozzle so when cleaning the car yesterday I decided to wash behind the cover. I use a large cotton towel to wash the car and it was the bulk of this that put just a little too much pressure on the cover, there was an audible crack and now the cover no longer closes correctly. I will need to schedule a trip to my OPC to assess just what damage I’ve done but as the car is now approaching 2000 miles I may well combine this with an oil and filter change.

Snarf, I'll be interested if your workshop will change your oil... mine told me to come back at 5000.

Let us know.

Visit to OPC earlier today partially rectified my filler cap problem - visually now perfect but return spring is a bit "floppy". No problem with oil and filter change other than price, £230, a non-approved Porsche shop will do it for circa £150.

Did an oil/filter change at 2000 miles following completion of "break in" Makes sense to me in an overkillish sort of way

I plan to change my oil at 2,000 miles as well. I want to get all those tiny/microscopic metal shavings out of there.

There was a very good write up with pics about DYI oil change on this form or Rennteam. You may want to search and try to do it yourself...you will certainly get to check out just who much metalshavings come out..and they are not microscopic. Cheaper and more satisfying too.
