I have a 2013 certified that had 980 miles on it when I purchased it one year ago. As I hit my one year anniversary I just had the oil changed at my dealer, with mileage at 4,300 miles. What is the best way to handle service on these cars, do I go by mileage or years? The dealer mentioned I had a 4 year service that would be coming up but didn't mention what was included, and frankly I didn't ask as I was thinking the next service would be mileage based.

I appreciate your help.

Service is MILEAGE or TIME based. Whatever comes first.

Example: 1 year OR 10,000 miles.

The best way to handle low mileage cars is to convert them into high mileage cars.

The four year/40K service is cabin air filters, engine air filters, spark plugs, and oil change. Your car doesn't need any of that stuff at 4,300 miles. If it would make you feel better to give the dealership your money, you can do it. But not necessary. Filters and plus don't wear with time.

Except spark plugs. Not that they are worn out, but they've been in there for 4+ years now and could "stick" - metal to metal. I'm on the same boat but more miles (17K now but still way under 40K) and I will have them changed because I've seen them stick on my previous Cayman S. And I'll have the dealer do it because damaging a plug thread is not my idea of fun - if they do it, it's now their problem ;-)

So you just did the first oil change of 4 year old oil? Do I have this right??

From initial post.....
One would hope as a CPO, an oil change was done as part of the CPO checklist/servicing.

With mileage and usage of your new car so low, you'll probably want to make sure your battery gets load tested, too. I bought a CPO 2013 that had been barely driven by the first owner as well, and at its best the original battery had 74% power after being charged all night - was "missed," during the CPO process.

Porsche replaced it under warranty, which was great.

If they didn't flush and replace your brake fluid, that should likely happen.

The love for pcars are so much it creates a phobia to drive them.

Thanks for all the responses. The vehicle is CPO and fluids were changed prior to purchase through the CPO process. First year of ownership I put about 3,500 miles on it hence the annual oil change. My daily driver is my 6 series gran coupe, so this is my weekender, so I get all the drive it more comments and appreciate them.

Off the subject, as much as I have loved the 911 since I was a kid, I am stunned at how many people today still love it. The compliments, thumbs up are constant every time I drive it. Such an iconic car and love it.
