Porsche recommends changing your 1983 928’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your 928 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Porsche recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Porsche 928. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
