Time before oil change?

Nov 28, 2008 1 Replies

I use Mobil 1, 5W-40 in my '01 996, but drive it only about 2k miles per year. I do drive it every 2-3 days to keep the water burned out. Is there some time beyond which I should change the oil regardless of mileage? Current mileage is 32k, oil changed last at 30k, about one year ago. Still full of oil.

Common practice is once a year at least. BMW even does an oil change once a year during their "free maintenance" period regardless of mileage.
