Post 970 - 2010-2013 Panamera Service Intervals

I thought I would collect this for ease of use by forum members. Hope it helps with questions like 'when should I do this', or what kind of maintenance at xxxx miles.

All of the below pertains only to B markets. Porsche organizes countries it sells its cars to, into markets, classified as A, B, or C. USA falls into the B market category, and since I reside there, below info will be only for B markets. If you live in other market, I am sure you can approximate durations, etc, but from what I see, there is language stating countries with leaded fuel do their maintenance on intervals that are shorter than in B markets. So please go check your market or take the info as an approximation only.

Also, I have Panamera Turbo, so these intervals are for this model. Most models follow same if not very similar schedule though.



B market countries:
Armenia, Australia, Bahrain, Brunei, Bulgaria, Estonia, French Polynesia, GhanaIndonesia, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Canada, Kazakhstan, Qatar, KuwaitLatvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Moldova, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Oman, Philippines, Reunion, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Korea, SyriaTaiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, USA, UAE (Abu Dhabi, Dubai), Vietnam, Belarus, Cyprus.

ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE FOR C MARKETS ONLY:
  • Every 90,000Km/54,000Miles
  • Not putting in details, may do later if really needed.



ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE EVERY 120,000km or 80,000 miles:
  • For markets A & B
  • Do every 120,000km or 80,000 miles or every 6 years

ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE EVERY 180,000km or 120,000 miles:
  • For markets A & B
  • Do every 180,000km or 120,000 miles or every 12 years
    • Change oil & filter following oil & filter change schedule maintenance
    • All-wheel final drive: change oil
    • Rear final drive: change oil



Other noteworthy remarks from reviewing the maintenance schedule:
- PDCC reservoir change replacement recommended only for C markets (non USA), at 90k km or 54k miles, then again at 240k km or 144k miles or after 16 years
- PDK transmission oil change mentioned only for B markets (Panamera S E-hybrid, Panamera S hybrid only), at 90k km or 54k miles, then again at 240k km or 144k miles or after 16 years.



I will be checking the maintenance schedule book inside the car to compare. If there are differences, I can chime in.
This is really surprising. There are many places where PDK, PDCC reservoir is called for after 60k. I do not see that in the FSM.
Some food for thought.

No reason you can't run that in your Panamera, lots of people run Motul in their Porsche's. I'm likely switching to it or TYP200 (run this in my endurance car) because I'm boiling the fluid at the track.

Thanks for your answer !
But its not miscible with polyglycol oil. Porsche OEM oil is not polyglycol ?

Aren't all (most?) DOT 4 spec'd as polyglycol based on the standard? I think Silicon is DOT5. Panamera factory brake fluid is Super DOT4 which exceeds the wet boiling point of DOT4, but Motul and most of the racing fluids already exceed DOT4 & Super DOT spec.

Motul 700: Dry boiling point 336.0 °C / 637.0 °F Wet boiling point 205.0 °C / 401.0 °F
Super DOT (Spec Panamera 970 Fluid): Dry Boiling Point: >265 C/ >509 F. Wet Boiling Point: >165 C/ >329 F

I would do a complete flush and fill if switching to a racing fluid so they are not mixed.

But from the old practice air cleaner filter is replaced with every engine oil change... 120.000 km sounds like a mistake

This must be the only manufacturer with such recommendation, or if car does like 15k km during those 6 years then yes, maybe, and still depends where it is kept.
But then what if to compare with particle filter:element interval, mmmm, both taking the same air
