I find it just a bit amusing when Rennlist people are posting what it costs to do it themselves. We are in the minority here,the majority of Porsche owners that do not post,nor read Rennlist go to the dealership. Yes,they get charged 250$ per hour but they're charging 500$ per hour as a hot shot lawyer or doctor,so you kind of see how that goes...

In 2016 in Central NJ the charge was $450 for my 991.1 that was the last time I went to dealer and service it myself for about $75.00. On my 2021 Cayman S I went for the free oil change. It calls for 0w-40 C40 spec. They put in 5w-30 C30 spec. Needless to say I will be servicing both vehicles going foward.

My dealer raised their prices this spring and now charges $368 plus sales tax for an oil change with the usual inspection. For at least 5 years before this, they charged $255 to $265, plus tax, so this was a significant increase. After my extended warranty ends, I plan to do this work myself if I still own the car, but until then I think it is worth it to maintain a good relationship with the dealer.

As the 991 model starts reaching the bottom of the depreciation curve many cars will get owned by enthusiasts with shallower pockets where DIY becomes a necessity. The 'my warranty' threads with then slowly get replaced with threads about serious DIY wrenching.

By the way, $200? What kind of oil are you using?

YUP $108 from FCP Euro and You can send them back your used oil and filter for store credit LOL, which brings you closer to $30 after the initial purchase when factoring in shipping your used oil back
