Maintenance Checklist for Your Porsche
Porsche vehicles, new and used, are always in high demand. Provided you keep your exceptional luxury car in good shape with routine maintenance, you’ll preserve its value and enjoy smooth drives for as long as you wish to own it.
With this aim in mind, let’s cover some essential Porsche maintenance you wouldn’t want to miss.
Maintenance Checklist for Your Porsche
Get Rid of Old Air Filters
The engine of your Porsche needs a great deal of fresh oxygen to generate power reliably. While the air filter keeps airborne nasties out, it can threaten to impede airflow as it becomes clogged up with debris. So, once a year or more, you’ll need to replace the engine air filter. The same goes for your cabin air filter.
Flush Old Oil and Fluids
When motor oil starts to degrade, the engine is left unprotected and also undergoes wear and tear. You can prevent this with proactive oil changes, twice a year at least. The coolant and all vital vehicle fluids need to be flushed periodically, although none quite as often as the motor oil.
Have Your Brakes Inspected
The brakes are another component not to take chances with. Biannual inspections by an experienced technician will ensure no hidden faults are developing. You’ll need to replace your brake pads and rotors when they start to squeal or vibrate.
Rotate Unevenly Worn Tires
You’ll keep your tires in great condition and your traction firm with twice-a-year rotations. Rotations even out tread wear across all four tires, granting them a much longer lifespan.
Straighten Crooked Wheels
Wheel misalignment is inevitable for most road vehicles, so each time you have your tires rotated, have their alignment measured too. When necessary, our technicians can promptly set crooked wheels straight.
Keep Tires Properly Inflated
Above all, your tires must be maintained at precisely the PSI stipulated in your owner’s manual. Check air pressure once a month and don’t hesitate to add or release air with improperly inflated tires.
Test and Replace the Battery
California doesn’t have particularly harsh winters, the bane of batteries, so your battery is likely to last a good four or five years. However, it’s still important to have your battery checked and tested once a year, especially as it ages.
