As the note above indicates, I have not yet recv'd my car and do not have manuals to reference. Can anyone tell me what is involved in the 15k mile service. The car is out of warranty so I will take it to a Porsche friendly shop locally versus the dealer (1.5 hours from me).
I just called regarding my 45k, which the dealer told me was the same as a 15k. Oil, lube, filter, air filter, pollen filter, check belts and hoses. I was quoted a bit over $500 and 4 hours to do the service.
The oil, lube and filter takes about 20 minutes if you are being generous. The other filters and checking hoses takes longer, as you have to pull the lid.
I was referring to my travel time to the closest dealer. Sounds like an easy job. Thanks for the info.

I think I'm just going to save 500 bucks and do it myself. I've already changed the air filter and the oil myself. Not hard stuff. I'm not sure about checking the belts though. Is this all that hard or necessary? I know there is a service plate that is between the seats and it gives access to the engine pullys and belts. Does the dealer open this at the 15k service?
