Schedule maintenance
The recommended service intervals and scope of work apply under normal driving
conditions and do not take into account all optional equipment.
Dusty areas require more frequent checking and possible replacement of the air filter
elements.
Tire, clutch, and brake wear as well as the condition of the engine oil are all largely
dependent on driving habits, and are also affected by arduous operating conditions.
You should perform maintenance on these items more frequently under such operating
conditions.
Yearly maintenance
On vehicles which are driven less than 9,000 miles/15,000 km yearly, a yearly
maintenance must be performed.
A scheduled maintenance must be performed after 2 years at the latest, unless the
mileage for a scheduled maintenance is reached earlier.
If the yearly mileage is more than 9,000 miles/15,000 km, it is recommended to perform
the maintenance at the scheduled mileage intervals.
Proper care and maintenance will preserve the value of your Porsche and safeguard its
functional capability. This will also protect your right to make warranty claims.
The terms "inspect" and "check" include all associated work such as
checking the condition, adjustments, readjustments, corrections, and replenishment. They
do not include the repair, replacement, or overhaul of the components or assemblies.
