Anyone know the service intervals for this car? I have thought every two years but the advert listing the sale shows annual services.

The two year interval on 996s came in for MY2004 car onwards and continued into the 997 range.

Prior to 2004, the 996 requires annual servicing. Normally this is done on a major/minor alternating basis.

The only exception to that is for cars doing low mileages can have an "annual inspection" one year, then major the next, then "annual inspection" , then minor etc. However, there must be no more than 12,000 miles between oil changes (which are only done at minor/major services) - hence that option is only really useful for cars doing 6,000 miles or less per annum.

HTH.
