Five years in a 981

When I bought my 981 five years ago Pistonheads was full of talk of "chocolate engines" and "you'll definitely need to extend the warranty".

My car has been 100% trouble free including pass of it's 5-year MOT today. Maintenance costs to date? £1,390 - and that should see me through to the full service this time next year. Mileage is fairly low with other cars in the household.

£278 a year to look after one of these "unreliable Porsches" looks pretty darned good to me. It's a fantastic car.

Have you done 10k or 1yr oil changes?

Absolutely not. So far as I'm concerned if Porsche say 2 years that's good enough for me. I make sure the car gets properly hot from time to time to evaporate off any moisture in the oil.
