yeah i think porsche thinks changing those things are worth the stamp. I did mine all myself and it wasn't bad at all. hardest part was the spark plugs but that wasn't too hard, you just need to jack the car up high enough. otherwise pollen filter is easy to locate. my porsche repair shop states that the oil should be changed every 7500 miles (M1 SYN) but i choose to change at 5000 miles. ur not saving that much money by the extra 2500 especially if you don't drive it too often. if i were someone who could do this myself my advice would be to do it myself and save that extra money for a future upgrade.
