Porsche Scheduled Maintenance Intervals
Engine Oil Service Intervals
Engine oil acts as a lubricant for the moving parts of an engine, though it also cools, cleans, and protects. Without engine oil, these parts start generating friction, which can damage them and reduce the car’s overall efficiency. Additionally, letting the oil go too long between changes can cause contaminant buildup. The recommended service interval for a Porsche is 10,000 miles or one year.
911 Brake Fluid
Brake fluid is a critical part of the sports car’s braking system; without it, the system stops functioning. This fluid goes in a cylinder underneath the brake pedal. When we push the brake, it creates pressure through the fluid, which creates the hydraulic pressure to operate the brakes. The recommended service interval for Porsche brake fluid is 20,000 miles or two years.
Spark Plugs
Spark plugs are a small piece in the engine, but vital for driving the vehicle. A spark plug delivers every spark for every combustion reaction that takes place in the engine. In a sports car, that means the spark plug does its job thousands of times every minute. Spark plugs are relatively durable, so the Porsche service interval is 30,000 miles or three years for these small components.
Cabin Air Filters
Cabin air filters are part of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. These filters catch outside contaminants like dirt, pollen, and certain bacteria before the air is blown into the car’s main cabin. We know many people do not realize their cabin has an air filter until it becomes clogged, and they notice the ventilation system behaving sluggishly. Porsche centers recommend changing the cabin air filter at least every 20,000 miles or two years.
Engine Air Filters
Engine air filters are mounted on the air intake of the sports car. These filters catch debris before it can enter the engine and start building up, which improves the overall efficiency of the engine. However, a clogged engine air filter can limit how much air the engine gets, which can impede the car’s performance. Porsche recommends changing the engine air filter every 40,000 miles or four years.
