Hi all,

I swear I was told 10,000km for the first service and the car is flashing up that I have 400km to go until the service but the bint at the OPC has just told me that it is 20,000km and there is no need. Only Cayennes need a 10k service.

I'm more than happy to play safe and get a service done anyway (as I've done a few track days and drive, err... spiritedly).

Also - she said that I could reset the service message myself - how's that done?

I will double post this in the main Porsche section as well.

Agreed mate.

So... I popped into the service centre (we only have one) in Dubai to get some Mobil 1 (16 quid for 4 litres - result!) as I need to top up now and to book it in for a quick once over and an oil change before the nect track day on the 4th April...

I ask once for the oil change - 'No sir, only needed after 20k'

I ask twice for the oil change - 'No sir, only needed after 20k''

'Can I please give you money to do an oil change. It's all I'm asking - I'll take full responsibility that it is not in the rules and that it may be alien to you but, as a Porsche customer, I WANT AN OIL CHANGE!'

'No sir, only nee........'

I gave the receptionist such a dirty look and the service staff were giggling by this point that she gave in - I will get my oil change.

Jesus!
