I track my 2021 Cayman a fair bit so thought it prudent to change oil earlier than recommended. I was changing brake pads at my usual local place and had them do the oil change after 8 months / 4800 miles of ownership. They reset the service interval in the car after that.

When I eventually try to sell the car at some point in the future, I don’t want the lack of official Porsche stamps in the service logbook to negatively affect the price; I also don’t want to invalidate my warranty somehow.

Normal service would have been after 1 year / 10000 miles.

Do I have any options other than taking it to OPC for oil change in 4 months’ time again? What would happen if I were to service it with OPC only at 1.5 years (at which point I’ll be at around 10000 miles, probably)?

As its a new car, just get it serviced by the schedule.

Then no questions will be raised when you sell.

Do as many interim services as you wish!

Warranty is unaffected as long as they use OE parts during the first 3 years assuming you're in the UK.

Maybe I have misunderstood the OP but service interval on 982 (inc. gt4) is 2yrs/20k miles - not 1yr/10k.....?

Keep all your receipts organised and it's a non issue.

I'd sooner buy a car that has a wallet full of receipts for regular oil changes than one that just has stamps in a book and no evidence of payment...

Service as per Porsche and there'll be no questions asked. If you want to show a potential buyer the receipts for the interim oil changes etc feel free but mentioning that you track the car might not go down so well...
