Maintenance and Inspection Schedule (Excel Tool)
Dudes of the 986Forum,
I am trying to put together a list of maintenance items that should be regularly replaced and inspected at their prescribed interval. I have collected a few items and their mileage interval, but I'd like you all to add to this and correct some of the values as needed. I can't seem to insert a table, so bear with the formatting... Maintenance and Inspection Item / Mileage Interval Tires / 10,000-20,000 Front brakes / ? Rear brakes / ? Brake bleed-flush / 24-48 month Air Filters (cabin/engine) / 12 months/10,000 Water Pump / 30,000 Spark plugs / 30,000-50,000 (lots of opinions) Serpentine Belt (same as Drive Belt?) / 60,000 Fuel Filter / ? Fuel Pump / ? So, lots more to add to this. If you guys can reply to this and add your interval comments, I will be happy to build an Excel spreadsheet and post it. I have mine working where I just enter my current mileage and I let Excel do all the math for me. I can see what items are coming up in 2018 and I then try to get work done around the times I do the oil change plus when its nice outside to work in the garage! Also, please keep in mind that I'd like this to focus on not just the parts that should be replaced on schedule, but exactly what items should be inspected and when. If you have good resources to how-to guides for any of these, please include that too. I can add links to the spreadsheet. So please help me build this and you can have it too!! |
I have my recommended intervals on my website, and a much more extensive spreadsheet I use to personally track my own maintenance and repair items/intervals. Tons of different suggested maintenance schedules and intervals floating around online. To help get you started here is what I have on my personal spreadsheet, the intervals and suggestions below are my own:
Oil System 5,000 Miles - Oil & Oil Filter As Needed - Oil Pump Piston, Spring, Gasket As Needed - Oil Cap Wheels 2 Years - Brake Fluid As Needed - Front Rotors As Needed - Front Brakes As Needed - Rear Rotors As Needed - Rear Brakes Cooling System 3-5 Years - Coolant 5 Years // 60,000 - Water Pump As Needed - Thermostat As Needed - Coolant Cap As Needed - Coolant Temp. Sensor As Needed - Expansion Tank Engine 15,000 Miles - Cabin Filter 30,000 Miles - Air Filter 30,000 Miles - Spark Plugs 30,000 Miles - Fuel Filter 30,000 Miles - Belt 60,000 Miles - Manual Transmission Oil 60,000 Miles - Power Steering Fluid 90,000 Miles - Spark Plug Tubes As Needed - Flywheel & Clutch As Needed - Starter As Needed - Oil Separator As Needed - Gas Cap As Needed - Battery As Needed - Motor Mount A few comments on what you posted, tires are a total toss up because it depends on the compound and driving style, brakes also vary a lot, brake fluid should be every 2 years, and I would do the air filter by mileage not time. I don't consider the fuel pump a maintenance item, replace it when it fails (it will normally provide some warning). :cheers: Edit: The serp and drive belt are the same thing. |
Awesome reply. Thank you!

Thank-you and I appreciate the effort. Why not use the one from Porsche? I also have the major and minor lists for the 987.

I wasn't able to upload the excel file... so did a PDF which will have to be printed and the three pages taped together. If someone wants the original .XLX file you can PM me. |
