Default Which Service am I due next?

Hi Guys

My local dealer mentioned there are three levels of service interval, costing $300, $550 or $1500 respectively. My car is a 2014 981 with 16,500 miles. Can anyone advise me which interval im due for next month?

Photos attached of the details in the car. Thanks in advance.

As you don't know what service level you are at, I guess you are not the first owner. If you bought from a Porsche dealer and they performed previous service, they can provide you with that info.

Generally Porsche service/maintenance is based on time or mileage. Your local dealer has provided you with the three common maintenance intervals:

1) at ~$300 is the "oil service" that is done annually or 10k miles (whichever comes first),
2) at ~$550 is the "intermediate maintenance" that is done after 2, 6, 10 ... years or at 20k, 60k, 100k, etc. (whichever comes first),
3) at ~$1500 is the "maintenance" that is done after 4, 8, 12...years or at 40k, 80k, 120k, etc. (whichever comes first).

Each higher level includes service items of the previous levels.

According to this schedule, your car over due for an "oil service" at ~$300. This is assuming it has received scheduled service to date.

Great info thanks. I bought it used in October and they mentioned the next service would be the $1500 one. But the local dealer seems to think it won't need the $1500 one because it's 16,500 miles. I'm not sure if it's at 4 years yet, it's a 2014 so it's possible.

Check for the manufactured date on the label located on the drivers side door frame.
