1 year service for 991 and cost??

Has anyone done their 1 year or 10,000 mile service?

I bought my base 991 3.4L in July 2014 and it only has 2,000 miles currently. The computer is displaying the need for an oil change. I realize that the computer was probably activated in April 2014 and is on a timed display, but is the oil change already needed?

I called the dealer and they are recommending me to do the 1 year service. However they quoted me around $900. Now I realize that its a 991, but is that price accurate? I think its a little steep!

Also, does anyone know what the 1 year service involves? Do they do anything to the computer system? If its only an oil change and tire rotation, I could probably do it myself.

Thanks

They are nuts. It's just an oil change and check and check. You can check you pressures, wipers and fluid.

So we know what dealer..

No tire rotation ever.

It's an oil change.

$200 by dealer is about average

Croly Hap that is a lot of money! My cost for the first service on my TTS was $225. Dunno if there is any difference between this for a 991 vs 991 Turbo, but I would think mine'd be more expensive. Makes me appreciate my Atlanta Porsche Dealer's service pricing structure.

$600 or less sounds great to me. Service cost is gonna run me around $2200 this year (2012 vantage s). Oh well.

Thanks for all the advice and feedback. I think I just need to research other dealerships or just do it myself.

You really should. I change the oil at 5000 intervals. I do every other change just so I can drop by the dealer at every 10k mark have them look it over and put the stamp in the warranty book.

It's an easy process and I recently purchased Race Ramps to make it easier

On what basis 'should' you change synthetic oil every 5000 miles? Especially in a car with a large sump.
