17 & 67 Plate Macan Oil Change Indicator

[Wing Commander]

Just curious - would anyone with a new 17 or 67 plate Macan mind checking their oil change indicator - right hand dial in your dash.

Am just wondering if other new Porsches appear to be programmed to 'need' a first oil change after 10,000 miles/12 months.

Cheers!

And try the same exercise on a Panamera Sport Turismo if you get the chance!

Mine definitely shows oil change in 20k miles / 24 months, same as the intermediate service.

Thank you. Just developing my own little conspiracy theory.

FWIW, my copy of the US Macan Maintenance Manual states:

Additional maintenance every 10,000 miles, but no later than every 12 months:
Macan S, Macan Turbo: Change engine oil and oil filter

Something odd going on. Prior to this week, I'd not heard of this oil change at 10k regime...

And when I bought my first two Porsches, a point was made that the servicing isn't too pricey really, as it's only required once every couple of years (assuming driving less than 20k miles in 24 months) ...

My May 17 reg SD is showing at 3,309 miles to date:

Interval 1.
36,700m on 3/2021
2.
16,700m on 3/2019
3.
Oil change
16,000m on 3/2019

My OPC received the car late March, but I did not want it delivered to me until 1 May. So that makes some sense.

Mine's definitely 20k miles / 2 years but i'll get it done after one and probably go to Mobil 1 5W-50 as we don't see anything below -25C here.

Thanks guys

I am not sure if this includes your current engine, but you can also check oil type and recommended change interval on the Mobil oil site here: http://www.mobil1.co.uk/which-synthetic ... nding.aspx

The models that I tried showed 20,000miles/24 months consistently.
