Exclamation 07 911 turbo (997) oil change

Recently purchase 07 911 turbo (997) w/ 13k miles on it, and Planning to do OIL Change. I contacted one of the local Dealer in parsippany (paul Mill**** porsche) the quote is for $400 +plus just to do aN OIL Change Damn, Thats costs alot then other Porsche Dealer.. CP cost $250..
Since that's the case, Now Planning to Do it Myself.
Any recommendations from any Pro, Is IT easy to have it do?

Dealer should just charge you $100-120 (their hr rate) , you bring the oil, bought locally and filter (`$50-60 total parts). What you save is the hr labor, but when they are thru, they will check trans, rear end, clutch. brakes etc for you for just the hr charge which saves you more grief.

Dealers are always a rip off and sometimes do things cheap, i always go to local shop where people have a goo rep.

Ouch....we only charge $195...and we'll supply the Mobile1 and filter!

Try Jack Daniels in Fair Lawn...it's a bit further then Par...but might be worth it. You're right next to my home town

All dealerships in Minnesota charge $130. Do you get lap dances with those $400 oil changes?

They r just Over Charged...
I called the Parts Depart from that Dealer and ask for price of the OIL Filter($36) and Engine Oil($72). Total parts cost is $108,
Ask again why from Service Depart charge $400 to do the oil Change.
If you do the calculation from $400-$108= $292. Regular Hourly rate for Porsche Tech is $120 and again I don't think for Oil change will take more then 1 hour.. I guess the remain $ for Lap dance for porsche Tech LOL

Ps.. All Porsche Dealers from New Jersey charge $210-$250 for Engine Oil Change EXCept the one is Parsippany (Paul Mill****porsche)

It's not just an oil change. It is the 101 point "inspection" too.
