I am getting ready to go in for my first oil change on my '13 Cayenne Diesel. DFC quoted me $370, and that's just for the bare bones oil change. They will also charge me $170 for the oil filter and Adblue top up.

When I straightened up from being bent over, I decided to go through them this time (also some minor warranty work that needs doing), but that I should find a good Indy to do the routine stuff in future. Any recommendations for Oakville area?

Thx.

oil filter kit is $19 from Suncoast-for reference, 7.3L of 5w40 oil (Rotella T6?, on sale this week at CTC $34/jug x2 $77 with tax)...so around $100 worth of supplies to change oil,
the Adblue fluid is about $9 a jug at CTC as well

+Mantis. They can handle any Porsche maintenance.

I think Cross Avenue Auto does Porsche as well, though have not tried them.

Careful on the oil spec. Tried to find the right spec for my Audi Q7. I believe it's the same engine just tuned differently. Nearly impossible to find. CTC and Partsource do not carry right spec. Had to buy from the dealer.

Ya I know VW/Audi diesels are always picky on 'requirements'-SLX I think is what they 'want'...that said I can't see any negative to running a 'performance' diesel oil such as Rotella T6 or Mobil Delvac in one...T6 going in the GT2 in the next couple days

Thx for all the helpful replies. Mantis it is for the oil changes, and I'll do the Adblue myself.

2011 q7 tdi here. My 1st oil change cost me $120 in supplies. The ad blue can be found cheaper at part source for $20 for 10L. But u likely need the 1st 2L bottle from the dealer to use as a funnel.

I got filters now from suncoast for less than a $8 US including the drain gasket.

Oil from the local vw dealer.
