Price for an oil and filter change
I typically have my service work performed by an Indy, but I thought I would check the price for this service at nearby Porsche dealers. I got two quotes for $290 and one for $275. One of the SAs told me that since my car is one year old, I shouldn't neglect the one year service. The price for this service is $490 and it includes the oil and filter change. I must not have the latest Porsche maintenance booklet because this phantom one year service isn't in there.

On the same note my 2013 has only 5500 miles but I get a message on the screen that says "change oil" now when the ignition is turned on. I thought around 10k was the recommended time. Any thoughts?

Just had my 10K performed at the local dealer. $430 - and that's with a 10% discount. Certainly not the cheapest oil change I've ever had! One item of note is this...the inspection is pretty darned thorough. Tech inspection resulted in identification of "noisy" rad fan on passenger side. As most, I'm pretty tuned into my car and I'll admit that I didn't hear anything. I mention this only b/c the once-over the car gets from a qualified tech is certainly yards ahead of what I could do myself - and I'm not sure my indy would've caught it. End game - new fan is on order.

about $200 at my local dealer.
about $60 in my garage.
the 1yr "service" is really an inspection. No fluids (other than motor) belts, filters, hoses are changed. So figure out what youre willing to pay for that.
Lastly, it would help to disclose your location as cost vary widely.

What date did your car go into service? Could be over 365 days. May trigger the "change oil" message.

I've posted the costs for my 30K+ miles car here before. The first 10K was similar sc8526's, low $400's which included oil service and an hour's worth of "inspections."
20K and 30K were oil service's only for which my dealer charges $384. I find that pretty outrageous but will continue to use the dealer through warranty, after that I already know a good independent here in town.

Just had my two year service done at Dealer with 11500 on the clock. $942 for oil change, interior filters and brake flush. They did "bing" me $121 for windshield wiper blades which i did not see on the bill till I got home. I haven't turned the wipers on more than twice so I will talk to them about that next time, but just be aware, it is on the 2 year list of items to do! I looked back at the one year service and oil change and it was $276 done at 7500 miles. I like my dealer and feel they provide good service at a decent price.

I had my oil changed at 5000k miles and was charged $180. Parts and oil would have cost me about half of that and taken me about 90 minutes, so I thought that was fair. I will find out about filters, wipers and brake fluid soon as I have reached 2 years and just about 20k miles.
While I gag at "inspection" item costs, I know my dealer tech well and he tells me he really does take the time to visually and manually poke around. One loose fastener or leaky line can lead to large bills. My hourly rates for poking around at what I do are somewhat higher so I shut up and pay.
Life would be different if I had a lift and/or I was 20 years younger. Adjsuting valves every 3500 miles on my SC used to be my idea of recreation.... sigh.

7.5? Iirc i thinks it just over 8 after pouring 1/2 qt in to the filter housing.
I takes me over an hr including 30mins if drain time and the 15min of travel to/from the oil recycler
