Suggestion · Original poster

I know that it needs servicing every two years but is it worth getting the oil changed annually?

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.

6 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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just after a bit of advice really. I've had my 997.1 C4S manual since Feb. It has done 52k miles. I know that it needs servicing every two years but is it worth getting the oil changed annually? If so how much am I likely to pay at an independent? Would you service anything else on an annual basis? Cheers Rob

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. Not got any plans for track days and it's a weekend toy so only likely to do 5000 miles per year in it. I am planning on keeping it long term though. Is there a how to guide to do it yourself? Are there any filters that need doing with it? Rob

POST 3Original post

your oil wants changing every 5k anyway... keeping the car longterm or not. i'd try and consider her next owner also.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Definitely will change it annually then for sake of £200. Anything else that needs doing on a regular basis? Or just wait until the biennial service?

JapanRed said: Definitely will change it annually then for sake of £200. Anything else that needs doing on a regular basis? Or just wait until the biennial service? Check radiator ducts for a trash build up and clean these out if you spot any. If you drive the car at all there'll be trash in there. Check the body water drains to make sure they are free of any trash build up.
