ive got some big *** channel locks, works great,,,goes from zero to like 6"

 

i wish the spin on filter adapter wasn't so expensive. Spin on's are so much easier.

 

At 3000 miles may be a bit too soon. My C4S has always been dealer serviced. I pay around $250 for oil change, inspection and car wash. My time is too valuable between work and family so I delegate maintenance to the dealer. I do wash and detail my own cars though. The way I look at this is like our annual physical at the doctor. I rely on the professionals to keep me and the car in top shape.

If it makes you feel any better, an oil chane at Porsche of Huntington here on LI is $385.

 

You can change the oil yourself for about $65.00 Very easy job.

 

Just picked up my 2011 C4S from Stevens Creek Porsche. I had my oil changed as the car hadn't had an oil change in a year, though the miles during that time were less than 4K. They did an inspection and will wash your car. Due to the drought they will give you a coupon for $25 not to have your car washed in a effort to save water. I didn't need the coupon, but skipped the car wash. Price for oil change is $249. I also had the brake fluid flushed and replaced as well as the coolant (despite Porsche's claim of coolant being a lifetime fluid...).

My car is CPO until Dec 2016 so I plan on having the dealer do the service until then.

 

Very helpful ! Thanks ! If you don't mind me asking, how many miles are on the 4s and what was the asking price? I was looking everywhere for a 2011 4s. Feel free to PM me if you prefer.

 

You can buy the exact oil change wrench at Pepboys in the oil change accs section for about $7-8. They sell like 30 of them. Bought one for my car, wifes car and daughters beetle for less than $30
