Standard 12k- or yearly if you do less miles oil changes are fine for all but track day abused 993's.

Suggestion

It really depends on ya mileage, do roughly 12k pr yr just have it service as per the book, if you do few miles a yr say 6k its a good idea to have an oil change service yearly and then plugs etc a year later.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

It would be a funny old service that diddnt include an oil change. Standard 12k- or yearly if you do less miles oil changes are fine for all but track day abused 993's.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, I'd imagine a 12k service would include an oil change of course. I'm having a service after 5k mainly cos its coming up a year since I got it. I guess I was asking if people think servicing and oil changing shoudl be done after set periods of time or milage. An old chestnut I know...

POST 3Original post

It really depends on ya mileage, do roughly 12k pr yr just have it service as per the book, if you do few miles a yr say 6k its a good idea to have an oil change service yearly and then plugs etc a year later. A wheel align at each yearly service on a 993 is something a lot of owners do, simply because out of alignmnet 993's are horrible to drive.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm servicing my 993 after 5-6 k miles (also because it needs a coupel of other things seeing to). Should I ask for an oil change (will it be done in the service anyway) ? How often to you do yours ? Is this one of the forever-young topics on PH ?
