Oh and changed the oil yesterday. It was oily looking.

Gentlemen, now this is a proper Porsche owner's interval.

Oh am I supposed to say when I change my oil on here? Well I've gone about 10,000 miles since I've bought it and the book says that is how far to go so I can't wait to say I changed the oil.

Nope, factory recommends oil changes every 15,000 miles. So, you must wait. Report back in 5,000 miles.

Given how frequently and how far I usually drive her, I guess yesterday was the last oil change she'll ever see. That seems like a bad plan.

The 15,000 mile interval on oil is bad, but what really triggers me is the every other change on the oil filter! REALLY...REALLY!!??

Oil- and Air-Filter Element 30,000 miles or every 4 years

Porsche needs to keep the marketing types away from service interval inputs.

15k?!?! Shit! I thought it said 150k!

Maybe I should schedule an oil change soon...

More like - what I didn't do with the 996. It snowed for about 5 minutes this morning, with supposedly another inch on the way. The city must have figured out that I own a 911, because the photo below represents the current pile of SALT in front of my driveway. This afternoon the city salt trucks were out on the main streets 2 x 2, salting away on the dry roads. Unreal.
