Maintenance, Car Care
Refueling Fuel tank capacity is listed under “Capacities”.
fPlease see the chapter “CAPACITIES” on
Page 239.
Porsche does not recommend the use of fuel
additives.
Fuel is highly flammable and harmful to
health.1.Important: Stop the engine and switch off the
ignition.
2. Slowly unscrew the tank cap.
Hang the tank cap's plastic strap on the hook
on the inside wall of the filler flap.
3. Insert fuel-hose nozzle fully into the filler neck
with the handle of the fuel-hose nozzle facing
down.
4. Do not add further fuel once the correctly
operated automatic fuel-hose nozzle has
switched off.
Fuel could spray or could run over in warm
temperatures.
5. Replace the tank cap immediately after
refueling and turn it until you hear it and feel it
engage.
If you lose the tank cap, you must replace it
only with an original part to reduce the possi-
bility of a fire in the event of a collision.
Caution!
Risk of damage. Body decals may bleach if
they come into contact with fuel.
fClean up any spilt fuel immediately.
Fuel Recommendations Your Porsche is equipped with catalytic conver-
ters and must use UNLEADED FUEL ONLY.
Your engine is designed to provide optimum
performance and fuel economy using unleaded
premium fuel with an octane rating of 98 RON
(93
CLC or AKI). Porsche therefore recom-
mends the use of these fuels in your vehicle.
Porsche also recognizes that these fuels may not
always be available. Be assured that your vehicle
will operate properly on unleaded premium fuels
with octane numbers of at least
95 RON
(90 CLC or AKI), since the engine’s “Electronic
Octane™ knock control” will adapt the ignition
timing, if necessary.
It is important to observe the regular service inter-
vals, and particularly the oil change intervals,
specified in the “Maintenance” booklet.
The use of UNLEADED FUEL ONLY is critically
important to the life of the catalytic conver-
ters. Deposits from leaded fuels will ruin the
converters and make it ineffective as an
emission control device.
Cars with catalytic converters have a smaller fuel
tank opening, and gas station pumps have smaller
nozzles. This will prevent accidental pumping of
leaded fuel into cars with catalytic converters.

Maintenance, Car Care
Air Filter A dirty air filter not only reduces engine perfor-
mance, but can lead to premature engine wear.
Regular filter replacement is part of the routine
maintenance service.
fIn dusty conditions, check the filter element
more frequently and replace if necessary.Combination Filter The fresh air passing through the combination
filter into the passenger compartment is virtually
free of dust, pollen, and unpleasant odors.
fIf the outside air is polluted by exhaust fumes,
press the recirculating-air button.
A dirty filter can be the cause of reduced air flow:
fHave filter replaced by your authorized
Porsche dealer.
Regular filter replacement is part of the routine
maintenance service.
Manual Transmission OilThe transmission oil has to be checked and
changed at the intervals listed in your Maintenance
Schedule.
fPlease see the chapter “CAPACITIES” on
Page 239.
We recommend that you have the transmission oil
changed at your authorized Porsche dealer, who
has the required lubricants and the necessary
filling equipment.
fIf you suspect an oil leak in the transmission,
have your authorized Porsche dealer check it
out immediately.
