I've got the new car going in for it's oil service next week (thought I would get that out of the way first).... Is it worth getting your own oil and supplying it to the dealership? If so what oil should I be buying and how much of it would I need?? (3.6 996)Cheers guys

if you are'nt having a new oil filter you will need approx 8.3 litres of oil. i would use mobil one. if you supply your own oil it will obviously cost less.

I read somewhere earlier today that OPC's charge £11.99 per litre of oil :roll:

Yep, got to use Lovett's (OPC) as the car is still under Porsche warranty.

Do the OPC's use Mobil 1??

Using a specialist for servicing does not invalidate the porsche warranty if OEM parts and recommendeds are used. You'll have to cough for the 111 point check each year to renew the warranty once the car's over 2 years old though.

ensuring the garage use a proper and porsche approved oil is very important.. ow40 or 5w40



especially this time of year !

I just had my 993 serviced at Dick Lovett OPC Swindon, they used Castrol GTX Magnatec, I had previously been topping up with Mobil 1 in line with the sticker on the lid.
