Porsche recommends changing your 2012 911’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 911 in the above table. Outside of Porsche-recommended oil change intervals, your 911 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Porsche if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Porsche 911. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2012 Porsche 911 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Porsche has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2012 911. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine.
