My 2002 996TT is due for its 30k mile service soon. I was just curious if anyone knew what Porsche actually did to the car at that interval and what it cost. I've looked in the manual but its not real clear whats supposed to be done and if its just a fluids change and inspection I'm not sure I want to pay the Porsche service department at the local dealership their premium prices for "routine maintenance work I can do myself.

Thanks in advance for the help.
