Default 991.2 GT3 Maintenance Schedule?

Does anyone have a scan or PDF of the service schedule for 991.2 GT3? Do they still require a spark plug change every 2 years regardless of mileage?

Thx!

Thanks for posting that. For engine oil change, it says every 2 years or 12k miles but see: separate Oil Maintenance Sheet PNA 000 162 FP. What does that document say? I assume this is every year but is it more often than that based on how it is driven etc? I'd like to see that document.

My maintenance manual says oil change interval is 12k mi or 1 year. In the owners manual under the race circuit section it says oil change interval is 3k mi of track driving. I change more frequently than that though. Where did you see the document reference you quoted? I don't see that in the books I have. Thanks

edit: ok, I see the reference in the prior link posted. odd, that document seems inconsistent on the oil change time interval with the manual in the car.

Change 6-spd gearbox fluid every 96,000 miles or 12 years. I guess I changed mine 93,000 miles too early. LOL.

I will note, it looked great when we drained it, but I always change it out after a break-in, especially a transaxle with a clutch-type LSD.

Quick question - So other than the normal oil change; at 2 years spark plugs need to be replaced, Brake fluid flushed and anything else??

I did Air Filters (2 cabin and 2 engine) and Auxiliary Serpentine belt too (though not technically required yet, Trakcar mentioned these wear quickly)...

What is the 2 year maintenance running everyone for the 991.2 GT3?

The way I read this, it is really only a Full points inspection (which ostensibly, the dealers do everytime you bring the car in for free). And then these consumables:
1) Oil Change
2) Pollen Filter
3) Air Intake Pre Filter
4) Spark Plugs

Other than that, it appears to be a whole lot of "look at these things / Check fluid levels" for a GT3.

I want to say my dealer quoted me 2k+ for the above. Is the above recommended? Or required to maintain warranty?

Don't forget brake fluid flush at least every 2 years. BTW, the above can done yourself easily for a small fraction of the quoted price.

Above + brake fluid flush was around $2300 at my local dealership. I got some quotes from some independent Porsche shops and it was a couple hundred less, but the dealership is closest to me + loaner car, so I went with dealership

Anyone have a write up on the brake fluid change yet? Let me guess, it requires PWIS to do ....

Just need Motive power bleeder or extra person to pump brakes, or speed bleeders, etc. And 11mm 6-point box wrench, catch bottle, and around 1.5 Liters of new fluid.

My favorite track fluid (and factory fill on Porsche race cars:
