Porsche Cayman - Service intervals There are two types of Porsche services, a minor and a major service, both of which are
required at different intervals.
Below is an indicative timeline of the care and maintenance your Cayman requires at different
times during its lifetime. Servicing your Cayman at the required intervals will help to ensure your
vehicle continues to deliver optimum performance.Cayman exampleNew 2nd Year 4th Year 6th Year 8th Year 10th YearBrake fluid changeOver time, your vehicle’s brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air. The resulting accumulation
of water lowers the boiling point and, under certain operating conditions, can affect the braking
action. Therefore, in order to ensure your Cayman continues to provide optimum braking in all
conditions, the brake fluid should be changed in accordance with the change intervals stated in
your Owner’s Manual*.• Minor service

Major service for your CaymanWhat’s includedRecent innovations in reliability and technology have enabled Porsche to introduce a major
service interval of 40,000 miles or 4 years on all our Cayman models. (Please refer to
your Owner’s Manual for your particular Cayman service interval requirement).
As time and distance between services has generally increased, so has the importance of
these services. In addition to elements covered by a minor service, every major service
typically covers elements such as:
• Replacement of air cleaner element
• Check condition and adjust (if required): fuel system, parking brake, clutch, steering gear,
tie rod ends, axle joints, running gear, exhaust system, suspension and seat belts
• A final test drive to check all of the major systems on your Porsche for their effective
operation and a final post-drive level check. Items tested include all those listed under
minor service.
All of the above items are included in the scheduled pricing structure.Possible additional costsDepending on the model, age and mileage of your vehicle, your Cayman may require some
additional maintenance work. Items covered are priced individually in the Service pricing booklet
and may include:
• Check/replace drive belt
• Change brake fluid
• Replace spark plugs
• Tyre sealant
• Check TPM system battery
• Change transmission and drive oils
• Check airbag system
Any additional work required will be individually quoted and fully discussed with you prior to any
work commencing.
