Should I Change My Air Filter?
 

I have just over 13,000 miles now on my 987S. Should I change my air filter yet (early I know)? Most of us change our oil before Porsche says, so I am using the same logic with the air filter.

I don't think I need an air cabin filter...I am 99% top down without the fans running!

OK, if the answer is "yes"...how do I do it??

Thanks! :)

Doing any periodic maintenance early can't hurt anything... except your wallet!

I do it every year on all my cars. I'm sure the 987 air filter is in the fairly same place. Can't believe I paid to have it done at the dealer. The biggest waste of money ever. Took me 15 minutes in the supermarket parking lot while I waited for my friend. I think its a good idea to do it when you have dry vac so you can suck out any debris before you put in the new one.

I think there's a DIY on this site

changing the filter anytime is a good idea, as long as it doesn't hurt you $ wise, but clean air filter is always nice to have, and help the engine breathe.

so yeah, change it man.

The 987 air filter is way, way different than the 986 air filter. And getting to it is a bit more involved than on a 986.
