That's the standard service interval. You're welcome to change it more often (I do on my '83) but I've never heard of adverse effects from sticking to the recommended changes. Emanuel

My manual states the same interval.. The manual dosen't lie, but most Porsche drivers take extra precautionary measures. For something as inexpensive as an oil change, certainly better to be safe then sorry.
