Hi everybody. I am getting closer to the end of the infamous 2,000 miles and I think by the end of next week, I will be done. Did anyone here change the oil after that? isn't it better to do it, to remove all the iron dust from the friction among new parts?

Thank you for your help!

 

Ale70,
How in the world did you manage to get to 2000 miles in 2 weeks, when it took me almost 6 months!!

Have you been home since taking delivery???

Not aware of any required oil change, however a few members have opted to do so.

 

Drive it like you stole it!!! I am only halfway there...

 

Oh,,,, 'DBYT' that was the line I was gonna use...lol

 

I am driving it like I stole it. Yesterday at 115mph I started breaking half a mile before a hidden trooper.....getting closer and closer to Ticket Day!

I am using it to go to work, and that alone is 70 miles a day....

Thank you!

 

I'm changing the oil at 2K. Can't hurt.

 

I'm amazed at this 991's oil consumption. I'm used to Porsches getting 1000 miles/qt but my 991 has more than 4000 miles and is just coming up to one quart down. I thought about changing it the first time at 2000, but now I'm going to wait to 5000.

ChuckJ has spoken. After over 4 decades of ownership, his word is good enough for me.

After all, this is only my second 911..

 

Okay dux, I'll let you know if I ruin my engine

Porsche says 10k for oil change even after break-in and that is good enough for me. It's not like they are shy about being overly cautious about preventive maintenance. For example they want you to change the bolts in the calipers every time you change the pads (even though mine were like new after 2 pad changes and high temp track use) and in fact they want you to do new rotors for every pad change (again, not at all necessary). Following that logic, I'm sure they would love to sell more filters and give the dealers more business on oil changes but that in fact they still say 10k for the initial change. I did mine at 7k because I tracked the car extensively this year but if I didn't I'd just go with their recommendation. With all due respect to Chuck (who is the man!) past experience here doesn't really apply given these are DFI engines.
Also, to the OP, you should know that our dealer in Manhattan charges $595 (!!) for an oil change on the 991S. It took me a while to stop laughing on the phone before I hung up.

 

Now what?.... hehehe put your foot to floor and scream like a school girl!

 

I need to be somewhere near Sid when he breaks 2000 miles (with a video and audio recording device!) That is going viral for sure!

 

I accept Chuck's advice. And porsche's. Buy my Dad always said change the oil before 1000 miles and again before 5000. So that is what I did. How could it hurt?

 

Hahahaha that should be almost as good as when I had 3 Nuns in the 911 with the roof down, arms in the at WOT screaming whoooopieeeeeee!!
Or the time with the 3 Swedish bikini models hehehe (no not at the same time as the Nuns ).
Or the time with the 3 bull riders.... actually... hmmm... we'll leave that one out...hehehhe

All you have to do to hear me scream... is play some French rap music!

 

YES!

Awesome...
