Porsche 911 Maintaining driving pleasureNo matter how many years your 911 has been delivering driving pleasure, it should continue
to be as powerful, practical and responsive as it was when it left the Porsche factory.

it is important that you maintain the recommended service intervals at a Porsche Centre.

that your 911 will receive first class attention from Porsche trained technicians, using only
Genuine Porsche Parts and the latest available diagnostic equipment and technology.

Porsche 911 - Service intervals There are two types of Porsche services, a minor and a major service, both of which are
required at different intervals.
Below is an indicative timeline of the care and maintenance the 911 (Type 997) requires at
different times during its lifetime. Servicing your 911 at the required intervals will help to ensure
your vehicle continues to deliver optimum performance.911 (Type 997) example New 2nd Year 4th Year 6th Year 8th Year 10th YearBrake fluid changeOver time, your vehicle’s brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air. The resulting accumulation
of water lowers the boiling point and, under certain operating conditions, can affect the braking
action. Therefore, in order to ensure your 911 continues to provide optimum braking in all
conditions, the brake fluid should be changed in accordance with the change intervals stated
in your Owner’s Manual*.

Minor service for your 911What’s includedMatching the reputation of Porsche for its leading-edge engineering capabilities, we
have introduced a 20,000 mile or 2 year service interval for our most recent 911 models.

Every minor service is carried out by a Porsche trained technician and typically covers
elements such as:
• A fault code analysis
• Replacement of your pollen filter
• Replacement of your oil filter and engine oil using Porsche recommended Mobil 1 oil
†
• Inspection for: leaks and abrasions, the vehicle’s underside and engine compartment, coolant
hoses, coolant (level and antifreeze check), radiator, air intake, brake system, brake hoses and
lines, drive shafts, tyres, locks and latches, electrical equipment, horn, windscreen wiper
washing system, power steering and brake fluid level check* and lighting system (including
headlights and indicators)
• A final test drive to check all of the major systems on your Porsche for their effective
operation. Items tested during the test drive include (if applicable): remote control, front seats,
foot and parking brake, engine, clutch, steering, transmission, ParkAssist, speed control, PSM
switch, PASM switch, Sport switch, heating, air conditioning system and instruments. A final
post-drive level check is then conducted.

maintenance work. Items covered are priced individually in the Service pricing booklet and may

fluid check.

service interval of 40,000 miles or 4 years on its most recent models. (Please
refer to your Owner’s Manual for your particular 911 service interval requirement).

these services. In addition to elements covered by a minor service, every major service

rod ends, axle joints, running gear, exhaust system, suspension, seat belts, throttle actuation*
