Anyone do the 6 year/60,000 mile service yet??? Need some input.
My 2011 Turbo S has 22,000. It’s time to do some general upkeep since I plan to keep the car for many more years. FYI, car is never tracked if that matters.
In the maintainence manual at 6 years or 60,000 miles it calls for:
PDK: change clutch fluid
Controlled four-wheel drive: change oil
Replace drive belt
In regards to the PDK clutch fluid, I’ve read a couple forums where others said the transmission pan has to also be replaced because it has a filter built into it. When I mentioned this to my local dealer they said that only has to be done at the 12 year/120,000 service when the transmission oil is replaced.
Also, they didn’t know anything about the four wheel drive oil needing to be replaced.
This is a little concerning. I called a different dealer and they basically said the same thing. To be honest, they both seemed a little confused. Maybe it’s because the 6 year mark for a PDK transmission service is a more recent service for them since I believe PDK came out in 2010???
Anyone have any input and personal experience?
Big thanks!!

I just bought a 2011 997.2 turbo, and it's at 57k. I've ordered all the parts and am currently undertaking the 60k service (DIY) including some additional items... the car didn't have much history, so level setting and starting my journey with a clean slate.
- Oil change (LiquiMoly 5W40)
- Front final drive (AWD controller oil (Mobilfluid 75W80) and differential oil (using LiquiMoly 75W90)) ... both of these are drain and fill 0.9L.
- PDK trans (will do this at a shop that has PIWIS) bought pentosin FFL3 oil. Will do drain & fill now, and pan/filter at 120k.
- Final drive (rear), same 75W90 above. Drain and fill 1.2L (this shows in service manual as separate from PDK trans, will have to check under car)
- front CV Axle boots (pain in the a$$)
- spark plugs and coil packs
- drive belt
- air and cabin (pollen) filters
- broken trunk/hood switch
If you can wrench, most of this is relatively easy to do.
