Just wanted to share my experience. I called 4 nearby dealers and wow were the prices different. One wanted 1300. The other 1100 another said 825. And one said 625. I went over what each would with the service rep. Every dealer was doing the exact same thing. Each one basically said it's an oil change with a cabin filter. Did not include the $225 for a brake flush. So I would suggest you guys call around to different dealers if you have more than one in your area.

 

that s a do it myself at about 100 bucks...

 

I never understood this discrepancy between actual porsche 'dealers'.

Are some just doubling the hourly rate of others? Or marking up the oil 10x?

 

they think they found deep pockets with P owners and some just have more ba$$s to ask for more. Ever notice the difference between Porsche recommended service and dealer recommended service? (If you are willing to give it up, they ll take it.) Just my 2 cents.

 

Yep.

 

Agreed. If I were more of a mechanical person I probably would do it myself. But that's never been my thing. But figured I'd share so for anyone that's not a do it yourself person. Or have a good Indy shop that they use would no it's easy to call around and save a few bucks.

 

No disrespect intended... You make a good point as there are other services that not many can do.
FYI, changing the cabin filter is almost as easy as changing the toilet paper roll/ .

 

Since you're not going to tackle it yourself, find a good reputable indy to handle it. Over the course of time you will save a lot of coin.

 

Does changing the oil and cabin air filter yourself void a CPO warranty?

 

no !!

 

Thank goodness! This was one of my main concerns as I get ready to buy a CPO Panamera.

 

Just keep records, receipts . Use the right oil etc....

 

carbin air filter and oil change are easy with PAN. You should do it yourself if you want to do it. Flush brake fluid is also easy you need to have Motive to do the bleeding.
