Folks,

I just got a used 2008 Cayenne Turbo with 20K miles.
As far as I can tell, the car has never been serviced in any way, but was apparently used very rarely/gently, and never used to tow. My plan is to keep the vehicle for a long time.

I immediately had the engine oil and tires changed, and the coolant, air filter, and brake system components all looked good to my mechanic, so he left them alone.

My questions are:
1) Should I have the transmission fluid changed?
2) Should I have the differential fluid changed?
3) Should I look into changing anything else?

Huge thanks in advance!

 

I personally do diffs and tranny every 40k or 4 years! I would recommend using redline synthetic fluids in it! You might also get a power bleeder off amazon and do brake fluid with good stuff! Others might say different but this is what I do! :-)

 

Service light will come on when you are within 2000 miles of needing an oil change. My Turbo is usually about 10,000 between.

 

Follow the service guidelines in your manual. Next have the dealership you purchased the Cayenne from let you know if it was serviced there. I've never seen a Porsche, or other luxury vehicle, that was purchased and not taken back to the dealership for initial service and warranty work. With its age and low mileage, I would change all the fluids and start fresh. That way you know exactly how everything is. Establish your baseline.

 

2008 with 20k?
Major Service (Due to time)
Brake Flush
As far as the Diff's, Tranny, Transfer Case. I have 60k miles on mine and I probably won't mess with it until 80k. Doing it sooner is never a bad idea tho.
