60K tune-up. What do they do and how much ??!?
So my 2001 986 just hit 60K and I was wondering what the dealer does for the 60,000 maintenance check. Also how much should I expect to spend. Also is it normal for an oil change to cost $275.00 at the dealer ? Thanks !!

I would call your dealer and have them tell you..but generally sounds like it includes all filters being replaced, the serpentine belt replaced, oil of course and I think other items.. I think generally around $800 or so I forget as I had gotten estimates but got a lower mileage car in the end...
I have heard regular oil change can be the price you mention at a dealer ...

That's about right for a dealer oil & filter change.
You might try a local quickie change shop - if you pull in with a Porsche, bring the specific oil and filter, and take a lot of interest in every step of the process, they will do a good job and save you $175.

Find a good indie shop for all of this. A lot of ppl on here do their own oil change.
Oil changes on these cars tend to cost more than other cars not because its a Porsche but because it takes a lot of oil lol. But you can definitely get it done for way under $200

Dealer cost is just outrageous. you can DIY all the things on the checklist for about $250-300. Oil change, plugs, filters, all very easy. You could probably find ans indy to do it in the $750 range.
If it were my car, at 60k and 11 years I would also change the gear oil, flush the brake fluid and flush the cooling system .
