No matter how many years your Porsche has been delivering driving pleasure, it should continue to be as powerful, practical and responsive as it was when it left the Porsche factory. To ensure your Porsche continues to perform to its optimum level and to protect your investment, it is important that you maintain the recommended service intervals.
There are two types of Porsche services, a minor which is performed every 20,000 miles or 2 years and a major service which is every 40,000 miles or 4 years. These services apply to models such as 911 Carerra, Cayman, and Boxster.
