Service Needed?

The onboard computer is stating that my car needs service. In October, I had a full service and plugs done. Since then I have ONLY driven the car about 1000 miles (i know.... work and family is taking up all my time).

Called Porsche and they recommended another full service, 900! I guess it was triggered on time but I am thinking I will just do the basic service or just an oil change.

Or... not do anything? Thoughts?

if you had a full service only 900mi/less than a year ago, no need to do anything. and if theyre the ones who did it previously, then theyre being a-holes now - they should simply offer to reset your reminder for free.

Always remember to ask if the service reminder has been reset after a scheduled service. This is often overlooked.

I would do nothing, wait until Oct and get an oil/filter change.
