991.1 C4s service requires

[rhys.williams007@yahoo.co.uk]

Hi,

Whats the views on oil services? 2013 991.1 C4s just under 50k. Major service last June 21. Should I have an oil service every year now due to age?


thanks

It can’t hurt to change the oil every year if you are concerned about it but the schedule is every two years. I have maintained a two year schedule with my 10 year old 981 with no apparent problems. As long as a good quality oil is used (Mobil 1 etc) and the car is not subjected to extreme conditions I think a two year schedule is okay and it’s good enough to satisfy Porsche warranty requirements.

If you have any general concern or are curious, try having the oil tested - See

I always give the oil test bottle to the Centre or Indy to take a sample and I send it off for testing. Just curiosity these days, born of running a modified car previously.

Do you also inspect the filter ?

Always relied on the oil test, given the age of the engines.

When I put my 991 in for a service at my OPC I provided a plastic bag and asked them to put the oil filter they had removed in the bag, which they did. I cut it opened and spread the element out fortunately finding nothing other than old oil..
