I have a 2010 Porsche GT3 with around 3,800 miles. I brought the car in for an oil change last year around this time with 2,800 miles so I put around 1,000 miles on in it during the past year. It's basically a weekend driver and I don't track the car. I reached out to my Porsche dealer to make an appointment for an oil change and they are recommending an annual service which is basically another $250 on top of the $300 oil change just to do basic stuff (lube hinges, replace cabin filter, etc.). He also recommended a 2 year brake & clutch fluid change for $225. Is any of this necessary or is this just a dealer trying to make some extra money? Should I just get the oil changed? Just looking for some sound advice. Thanks in advance.

1. Oil change is $300 for a 40min job? Its less than $200 in dallas
2. Air cabin FIlter is a quick and easy DIY. Filter costs $30??
3. Brake Fluid -yes
4. Clutch Fluid- no given the miles

The brakes and clutch use the same fluid, and you should change it at least every 2 years, but it's better to do it annually. You should really flush the entire system which would mean bleeding the clutch slave cylinder along with all 4 calipers.

I would skip the "annual service." Your cabin filter/air filter does not get any use when your car isn't running.

$300 is high for the oil change. It should be $100 in parts + one hour labor max (~$150).

You may get the mobile1 0w40 oil from walmart, around $50 for 2 5qts. labor + filter costs about $80 in Los Angeles. Its less than half of what dealers charge. unless you want the dealer maintance record
