How to reset onboard computer message "service in 7 days" - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Thanks for the speedy replies JFP. One last question if I can. Does this 'service reminder' act on time and mileage or by monitoring engine conditions/performance? I did the last oil/filter change about 1000k's ago, so I know it can't be that.

I think it is by miles.

Boxsternut, why not buy the Durametric software and you can do it yourself. That's what I did.

What is the Durametric Software about? Where do you purchase it? How do you use it? Thanks again to JFP.

Next best thing to Porsche's zillion dollar PIWIS:

Durametric

At less than $400, the consumer version is totally worth it. Avoid a few idiot light resets at the stealer and you've paid for one. But it can do so, so, so much more.

Can you see dynamic cam timing with the Durametric?

It may have been a coincidence, but my '07 Boxster's countdown ended on the day my warranty expired. I took it to an indy who reset it.
