Oil Change Interval
How often do you change oil in your turbo ? I guess the factory recommendation is every 15,000 miles. I am thinking about maybe every 7500 miles. With adding 1 quart of oil every 600 miles or so, it seems the car is undergoing constant oil change

LOL
I change mine every 3000 miles...This has been discussed previously and Porsche recommends such a long interval for environmental considerations not cause they care about your TT...

I think every 5000 is a safe interval for today's synthetic oils. Of course, it never hurts to change the oil more then needed.
