Porsche Cayman - 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 your Cayman requires at different
times during its lifetime. Servicing your Cayman at the required intervals will help to ensure your
vehicle continues to deliver optimum performance.Cayman exampleNew 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 Cayman 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

Minor service for your CaymanWhat’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 all our Cayman models. (Please
refer to your Owner’s Manual for your particular Cayman service interval requirement).
Every minor service is carried out by a Porsche trained technician and typically covers
elements such as:
• A fault code analysis
• Replacement of your oil filter and engine oil using Porsche recommended Mobil 1 oil
†
• Replacement of your pollen filter
• Inspection for: leaks and abrasions, the vehicle’s underside and engine bay, coolant hoses,
coolant (level and antifreeze check), air intake, radiator, brake system, brake hoses and lines,
drive shafts, tyres, locks and latches, electrical equipment, horn, windscreen wiper washing
system 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.
All of the above items are included in the scheduled pricing structure. Possible additional costsDepending on the model, age and mileage of your vehicle, your Cayman may require some
additional maintenance work. Items covered are priced individually in the Service pricing booklet
and may include:
• Check/replace drive belt
• Change brake fluid
Any additional work required will be individually quoted and fully discussed with you prior to any
work commencing.†Porsche recommends you carry a one-litre Mobil 1 top-up between services.

Major service for your CaymanWhat’s includedRecent innovations in reliability and technology have enabled Porsche to introduce a major
service interval of 40,000 miles or 4 years on all our Cayman models. (Please refer to
your Owner’s Manual for your particular Cayman service interval requirement).
As time and distance between services has generally increased, so has the importance of
these services. In addition to elements covered by a minor service, every major service
typically covers elements such as:
• Replacement of air cleaner element
• Check condition and adjust (if required): fuel system, parking brake, clutch, steering gear,
tie rod ends, axle joints, running gear, exhaust system, suspension and seat belts
• A final test drive to check all of the major systems on your Porsche for their effective
operation and a final post-drive level check. Items tested include all those listed under
minor service.
