Replace spark plugs: 911 Turbo/Turbo S every 30,000 miles / 45,000 km or 4 years
Additional Maintenance every 60,000 miles / 90,000 km or 6 years
❏ Replace PDCC reservoir <- My service rep has never had to do this. Seems more sensible to just change fluid, I told him we'd talk more when I reach 60k miles. When they certified my car it was at 6 years and they didn't do it.
❏ Replace drive belt
❏ Change all-wheel drive controller oil (4-wheel drive models only) <- They also only checked this fluid at certification time.
Additional Maintenance every 2 years
❏ Change brake fluid (use only Original Porsche Brake Fluid) <-I thought it was and/or 20k miles but the PDF I'm attaching doesn't say that, it says 4 years.

Question about this general topic - isn't Porsche legally obligated to honor your warranty whether the service is done by them, yourself, or an independent? I always understood that as long as you had good record keeping, that this was not a concern. 2f is in Canada; they don't have worse consumer protections on this than US, do they?

Great price.
The plugs are replaced every 4 years/ 40K miles. I had the 6 year service done in late March. The big items are PDCC reservoir, drive belts, and AWD fluid. It also includes oil change, air filter, brake fluid flush and the so called inspection. I paid just under $1750. The originally quoted me over $2K. I wouldn't say it's a great price but I was fine with it. It was early during the pandemic so the dealer was looking to do business and was willing to negotiate. The best quote from an Indy shop I got was only $50 cheaper so it was a no brainer to go to the dealer and get a loaner which was a brand new Panamera.

I have a good relationship with Vancouver Porsche and they are well aware of my opinions regarding a $660 oil change charge.
(Just realized I didn't see this a year + ago, apologies.)
