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.

Having said that, I'd change the oil and filter (I did mine myself, using the correct torque wrench settings!), especially as it'll not have been changed before.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, my car is going in for its 1st annual service next thursday, i'm assuming that its just an oil+filter change service so they wont be changing air filters? i have a bmc f1 air filter!? I've heard some people provide mobil 1 to avoid the dealer 'price' Is it worthwhile? how do you need to get? 9l? Was going to use OPC's collection & delivery service, but i have not been into a OPC showroom before so have decided to take the car in myself to have a good look around![ ] Simon

POST 2Original post

They will not change the oil filter until the 24000 mile service unless you ask them to. I don't think the air filter is touched - (only the Pollen filter - which costs more [ ]) but they might check it anyway... Might be best to re-fit the original for the service...( I didn't say that ).

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, I am a new member to this forum, as I am considering/saving to get a 996 in about a year, so am here to learn about it! I've had an RX8 fro 2 years, which is great for what it is, but by no means in the Porsche category. Anyway, can someone tell me how often you need to service the 996? I do about 15k miles per year, so am trying to get an understanding of costs too. Cheers

POST 4Original post

You don't say how many miles your car has done. If it's low mileage you don't need a service until 2 years or 12000 miles (applies from MY04 cars, i.e. cars with a 4 or 5 in the 10th character of the VIN). Having said that, I'd change the oil and filter (I did mine myself, using the correct torque wrench settings!), especially as it'll not have been changed before. There's no point in doing anything else if the car's OK.
