Servicing schedule - Boxster Newbie
 

Just bought an 04 Boxster with 66km last service was a "big one with plugs" at 55km - when is the next one due ?? Or would it be wise to do an "oil change" service now anyway?

Any helpful advice much appreciated .....

Really depends what was already done. Need more info.

If it was me, I would "ZERO" out the maintenance unless I knew for sure it was done already. Things like:

oil change and filter
cabin filter
engine filter
fuel filter (not sure if you have one)
brake fluid

Then start to consider things like:

water pump
thermostat
serpt. belt
coolant flush
manual trans gear oil

According to Porsche...

You're welcome.

Just bought and 02 on Saturday and was looking for this - thanks!!!!

Many Boxster owners would suggest that you change the oil more frequently than Porsche recommends. I change my oil every 5000 miles or at least once per year.

I do the same on my BMW - 5k max even though they say 7-10K (depending on model/year). It's probably because I had every 3k ingrained into me for most of the 80s and early 90s by my Dad.

I think I am going to do the clutch/differential/manual/brake fluids/grease immediately as the dealership won't give me the service history to protect the privacy of the previous owner. I already have some of the dealer printouts with the previous owner's name and I'm not asking for the previous owner's info, just a list of service performed so I know what has already been done. I was told a water pump was done right before I bought it, but I have no idea if that is accurate or not.
