Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'Replace interval' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace interval' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK - I realize from my reading so far that this is a contentious issue. but what the heck: 1) What oil is appropriate for a northern west coast climate (ie vancouver, where it rarely freezes, and rarely gets really hot). 2) What is an appropriate oil change interval for a daily driven, sometimes tracked and autocrossed 2002 996 with 40K miles? I plan to put 12K - 15K miles per year on the car. Half highway, half city. 3) What is the appropriate transmission fluid for the same set of conditions. I'm looking for kind of a consensus view, not radical views on either side please. I know Porsche has recomendations, but I don't have my car (or it's manual) yet and am a bit on the lazy side so might not get around to reading it right away anyway. Thanks!

Click here for maintenance intervals for fluids, etc. You may have to register to access these checklists. The net of it is that for ROW cars (I would assume that includes Canada, as we have not invaded there yet...) the oil change is 20KM or 12K miles, and for US cars it is 15K miles or 24Km. Go figure. The US maintenance intervals are geared around emissions standards.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
