Can anyone tell me what is the required oil change schedule for a 99 Carerra C2. HOw long inbetween oil changes.

I also get an indicator showing on my panel that stays on for about 30 seconds when i start my car, occasionally. Does anyone else have this problem. I checked but the oil level is fine.

That's not a problem. That's a normal feature of the car to give you a visual on your oil level. As far as how often to change the oil, I change mine around 6-7K miles, regardless of time. Mobil 1 synthetic is supposed to last 12K miles. I'm sure some people change theirs more often. I just don't think it's worth the extra cost for 9 quarts and over $4/qt.

I recommend changing the oil & filter between 7,500-10,000 miles or at least once per year. Mobil 1 0W40
