Hi all, I just acquired a 2010 C2S with 22,000 miles. Service records show that the PDK was serviced in 2019 at 19,000 miles but only the transmission oil was changed, not the clutch oil.

My question is: should I change the pan along with the clutch fluid or simply do a clutch fluid drain and fill? The maintenance schedule for PDK clutch fluid is 60K miles or 6 years.

Someone wrote on another thread that the pan only needed to be replaced on 2009 models because the drain plugs tended to strip. Can anyone confirm if later models (2010+) didn't need to have the pan replaced during clutch oil service?

I've gotten the following quotes from a an indy:
PDK service - clutch oil only : $540
PDK service - clutch oil and replace pan : $1540

I am located in Orange County, California. Do these prices seem reasonable?

Thank you in advance.

I just had the PDK oil and clutch oil changed on my 2010 987.2 Spyder. 2.4 hours of labour, 3 litres of each oil (6 in total) and four new bolts. The USD equivalent was 550. The pan was not changed. My mileage is 54,000. I did it because it was the right mileage. The transmission was noticeably smoother after the service.

Hi,
- Clutch oil replacement every 56.000 miles Info: Porsche). You need 5.2 liter FFL3 oil and a PIWIS

If you change the pan (contains the oil filter) I advice to order new Alu bolts

I paid for the pan 300 Euro and for the oil 120 Euro.
Regards
Hans

Porsche makes a kit that includes everything for a lot less money. They don't seem anxious to tell you. My indie made me aware after I went back in to correct what I thought was an under billing.

Complete pan replacement is defiantly uber expensive for no reason.

Complete kit:
Porsche Dual Clutch Transmission Service Kit - Genuine Porsche/Pentosin 9G132102500KT | FCP Euro

Or get a Aluminum pan $270 + $210 for fluid + $40 for new screws = Motorsport solution and it allows you to replace the filter the next time for $110... ( Aluminum PDK Transmission Oil Pan Service Kit - For Part # 9G1 321 025 01MS (fvd.net))
