Do them myself. Cost $60 in oil and about $20 for required filters. Much cheaper than the dealer and also relaxing!

 

Sorry, but you got royally ripped off on that one by 2x. My dealer was quoting $199 if they did it on my C2S (when I had it), granted I always do my own. But, a Qt of M1 is only $6 (lets say) x 9........So oil should be $60max....... then a filer..... new o-ring on the filter housing...... new crush washer. (Lets say ~$90 in parts in total oil/filter/ring/washer). Then throw in 1hr labor max at $125?

Guess that takes me darn close to the $200 mark. (Did they itemize the bill for you, because honestly that is just wrong) You probably should make a return visit and ask them to explain the breakdown.

 

pan is 14qt - your engine has 8qt of oil.
when i come to lube station i just give them pan and they return it back empty in 2 min.

not sure of 09 cars, LN has solution for that, I need this adapter as I track car often and plan to do it even more so probably will be doing 2-3 oil changes per season, so, adapter comes handy to simplify this process.

 

Dealer quoted about $289 for oil/filter change. Nothing else.

Did it myself - as others have said, way less. And additional Porsche bonding.

 

Also, do it yourself and eliminate the "shop fee" of 8% on the total bill. An needless expense that is a pure screwing added to an already "over the top" cost of a simple oil change...

 

$280.00 for nothing more than an oil change.

"$117.00 - oil"

apparently they use liquid platinum. Dealers get Mobil 1 in drums, so I'm guessing their cost works out to @ $2/qt. x 8 quarts for the 997. Hmm, not sure how they got to $117.00

There's an incredible inde shop near me. They will be doing my brake flush next spring and next oil change.

 

Oil change just done at local Castrol place. LN filter adapter and magnetic drain plug kit ordered and received yesterday. Looks like the LN kit paid for itself on the first oil change. Kit was ~$170. Oil change with 7.5 qt of Castrol 5w40 Syntec $90.04 with a $5 dollar state inspection sticker that was due. Total $260. Helluva deal.

 

What's the $5.00 state inspection sticker? What is the "LN KIT'?

 

State of Mississippi requires an annual inspection sticker for all motor vehicles, its $5. Just checks to make sure the car is in working order and safe to drive on the road. But its MS.....they let a lot slide.

The LN KIT, is the LN Engineering filter adapter and magnetic drain plug. They offer it as a "kit" for a few bucks less than ordering them separately and they even through in a Napa Gold 1042 filter.

 

$89.99 with PCA/OCR discrount at Walters Porsche in Riverside CA.

After seeing these prices, I wonder How Walters can do it so cheap?! Makes me wonder what oil they used?

 

I've seen $89 as a courtesy price. Of course the dealer gets oil at bulk pricing, but $89 is not a routine price. Take it while they offer it to you.

 

$129 at indie. Watch out for the Stealerships.

 

$189 at dealer, $165 at indie.

 

$72 including oil and filter plus washers.

at pepboys.

special on oil. $0.50 per qt.

amazing.
