Change oil at 3,000 miles.

My point is that the PSDS is owned by Porsche. As far as I know, the cars are shipped from factory to Birmingham. They are then sold afterwards to dealers across the country. In my opinion, and I'm certainly no expert on this topic, it seems unlikely that these cars are encouraged to be pushed from the get-go and then sold with apparently no problems and no complaints.

Since it's so good, would you like to buy some "aged" oil after my next oil change ? Lol

Break-in period - from what I've been told by the dealer:
More for the customer to become comfortable with the car (and not get killed) rather than the engine itself.
Today's engines don't need the same break-in period as older ones.
Hope this helps.
