Post Regular maintenance on a 993?

Any one can help what are the Maintenance points on a 993 and the time or mileage between each.

Ex: oil change,Filter change,Brake fluid every 2 years,etc... I want to be sure i did not miss something!

Is there no site for this ?

Thanks..

First, the service intervals are in the owners manual. If your car doesn't have them, there are places to get them. If you do a search of the archives here under "service intervals" you'll get a few results, including <a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=008943#000000" target="_blank">This Thread</a>

For these types of questions, the archives are very useful. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

As Kevin pointed out, the detailed service interval info is in the owner's manual. Basically, it boils down to services every 15,000 miles. Generally accepted on this forum is oil changes should be done every 5,000 - 7,000 miles, and not the 15,000 recommended by Porsche. Tires should be replaced as needed, but rears will usually be spent after 10,000 miles (depending on the tire and your driving habits).

Georges,

I have scanned copies of the maintenance schedules. I'll e-mail them to you.

My local dealer, which is worthless in any other area, has the "official" checklist for all the service intervals on a nice heavy stock paper. I just grabed a couple and use 'em!
