I'm not sure if my car already has a magnetic sump plug is there any way to check before I waste money on one exactly the same?

I'm currently running the above, my Indie advised this as I wanted to jump straight into the 10W - 50 millers nanodrive, but he said I'd not got near the kind of mileage to warrant it ?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So my cars nearly reached its time for an oil change.
It's the first time I have tried this so are there any current deals on suitable oil that you would recommend?
Carpart4less.co.uk usually work out the cheapest once you enter the discount code off their home page. They do a selection of Porsche recommended oils.
GSF often have 60% deals on, sign up to their newsletter or whatever it is, then there's always good old Halfords if you catch them right they sometimes have a deal on Mobil 1
That's the easy part, what weight oil is it your using ?
Ha
I knew this would come up.....so far I've just used Mobil Super 3000 5W-40 as thats what came with the car when I bought it.

I'm currently running the above, my Indie advised this as I wanted to jump straight into the 10W - 50 millers nanodrive, but he said I'd not got near the kind of mileage to warrant it ? Not sure he worked that out based on the fact that Hartech fit it their new builds from the outset, As far as Oils go there's not a lot to be unhappy about, the price is a major positive from the link above, I e just ordered 2 jugs of it myself !

12litres for £45
I'm moving up from 0w 40 to 5w 40 as advised on many forums for my 107,000 mile C4S
I will be changing (& checking) every 6 months. I'm getting a Millers analysis done who will obviously recommend their own but will be interested to see if they promote 5w40 or 10w50
I've got a sample bottle to send off to millers for diagnosis, I just forgot to take it with me last month when I had it serviced ? see what they recommend ? Interested to see that MPG improved significantly when Nanodrive used ?
Mines not driven enough or consistently enough to work out what it's averaging ?
I haven't got a clue ? There does seem to be a lot of very positive reviews from all over regarding this oil though ?
There is but it's the mot expensive & I'm only doing aout 3000 per yea so either I do cheaper twice a year or Millers once. I will let you know what they say (remembering to get a ample !)
incidentally, it's funny the local Lidl is 3 miles away but whenever I drive there it takes 20 miles via the Hampshire B roads. I think it must be the poor sat nav or something..............................
Right I have been gathering all the parts ready for my first DIY oil change...I've got the Oil....The Oil filter and the new rubber ring but what I think I am missing is the washer for the drain plug or are you just supposed to reuse the old one?
If it's a new washer what size are they and where do you get them?
Looking at it the oil drain plug is a standard size for all cars and the washer is also a standard size.
I'm not sure if my car already has a magnetic sump plug is there any way to check before I waste money on one exactly the same?
