997.2 10k service
what all is usually done on a 10k service from porsche?
im not asking what you guys do, but in the booklet i only see "oil change suggested @ every 10k" but is there anything else usually done at this service or is everything else @ 20k intervals?

Boxer service is pretty limited. There's not much to do. Spark plugs is 60k miles (I think). Probably an air filter. Brake flush every couple of years. If you track you will have to do more and more frequently.
Use the service for a thorough visual inspection, namely oil leaks.

so oil change at 10.. and maybe air filter... i do not track the car, just daily abuse.. the 10k went on in the first 6 months of ownership so the car is not sue for any other fluid changes or flushes because of short age.

just wondering so they dont try and sell me more... i got a paper in mail at same time asking me to come in for a free inspection.. which is pretty much a joke too.. "we inspect free, and then come up with a huge list of what if's to fix for 150/hr" is basically what it said to me.

Riley you do not need an air filter at 10k miles. Just an oil change and Vortex can do that for you and reset the service indicator. Carlos at Vortex was a mater Porsche tech at Suncoast for many years and knows what to do and has the PIWIS to reset the indicator and check for codes.

as far as changing more often, i put a qt in my car about every 600 miles... so with that being said ive pretty much done almost 2 full oil changes already. LOL.

awesome. i only put 15k on my 07 in 2 years but that's more a function of having a 6 mi commute to work. i drove it everywhere.
now, if some nice european will buy it so i can get a PDK and plop a powerkit in it, i'll be very grateful :-)

That first service is an oil/filter change and the just look to see if anything obvious is amiss (ie can they see it from underneath in a quick walk around.. no digging/panel removing/exploring involved)

10k service
My onboard computer is telling me about an upcoming 10k mi service...I didn't see anything in the manual and was ready to ask but found this thread. My C4S PDK launch is my DD with 9560 mi, 35mi at purchase in late nov 09. Changed oil and filter at 2500, 5000, and will repeat at 5k intervals. This 10 k look around is something worthwhile to have done at Porsche...with the idea that they have the experience?...or can my bosch trained mechanic do the same at my oil change. He has done both so far though my computer has not yet been scanned or reset. I bought it from Suncoast but now the core of Suncoast sales and service has moved to Bert Smith in St Pete. Also realized that I have no dealer stamps / in service info in my maintenance book. Suppose I have to go to Suncoast for that. What do ya'll think? Thanks!

I'm going tomorrow at 10,6 miles. To vortex and not to the dealer. I'll have them mark my book maybe just for my memory. Oil change and filter and a quick walk around underneath. Shes been acting sluggish lately so I know it needs new oil pronto.

Anyone?...whats to be expected at the 10K check?...is it a necessary dealer visit? ( apart from re-setting the computer service intetrval ). If yes...any recommendations for a competent place? (fl.) Thanks!
