Maintenance Costs

[modfather]

Just curious, what are some of the typical maintenance intervals and associated costs for a 997? (OIl, Brakes, etc.)

I've had mine for almost a year now and all I spent was $65 for an oil change which I did myself. I expect to spend the same in the next year. The next thing I will probably spend on are the rear tires which can be a little expensive.

These cars require very little: figure on regular tires, brakes (pads and rotors), and oil.

Tires: $2,400 per 12,000-15,000 miles for Michelin PS2's.

Brakes: no idea, but will soon.

Oil: Price per quart of Mobil1 0w-40 is $7 each. Figure $200 at the dealer, or DIY, about 8 quarts plus the tools and pan if you don't have them.

Tires are the largest expense and even a simplr flat tire can turn into two new tires for the owner who wants even wear and no weak spots.

Oil changes I do once a year or every 7500 miles on the 997S and the Turbo it's every 5K miles.

I also replace fluids, clean filters and whatever else needs work . It's under 1K to keep the car real nice excluding tires.

Brakes pads - $455 if you buy it with new dampers.
