I would say change the oil every year. as with the brake fluid, Your brake fluid attracts moisture from sitting which can rot the brake lines. I don't know what fluid the Porsche takes as I don't have one "Yet" few more months but if its something like 90W every few years is fine just make sure to check the level.

Replying to: chaozz (Jun 11, 2008 8:08 pm) Thanks for the advice chaozz. Porsche recommends changing brake fluid every 2yrs and oil at least every 2 yrs (if driven <9000 miles per year). I decided to change oil every yr and brake fluid every 2yrs, as recommended. The brake fluid they used was Castrol. I don't know if it was 90W. Glad to have you join the Porsche Club. It's my favorite car. Thanks again for the advice. Replies to this message: chaozz (Jun 14, 2008 7:55 pm)
