How Much for an Oil Change? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I'd like to hear how much Boxster owners are paying for an oil change at the dealer (not DIY'ers). I have been quoted $120-$199 in the Chicago area for the exact same service. Thanks!

I pay a local service station $15 to do the oil change.

I buy my own oil 9 qts at $3.50 and filter at Porsche Dealer at about $17.

Total cost about $64.

My local dealer charges $150 I believe.

Airbox1, what is Redline?

Brucelee, I am confused, I thought you are a Porsche dealer. Why don't you just go to your own service station? Please clarify. Thanks!

It's another syn oil. Very popular in racing and with street motorcycles.

I use it in my bikes.
