Hello all, does anyone know how much I can expect for an oil change for a new Porsche Cayenne diesel? And how often should the oil be changed? I get conflicting data points from Google - some say every 5K miles like regular cars, some say more frequently at 3K miles, while some say they have gone 20K miles and the engine oil is still clean... Any insights on this?

Per the Porsche Recommended Schedule. 1 year / 10,000 miles whichever comes first. If you're concerned about the cost of oil changes, a Porsche may not be the car for you.

Too late, already have it

But seriously though, I just wanted to know how much to expect so I have an idea.

Thanks, I'll go with Porsche's recommendation.

I have the 6 cylinder and it costs $240 for an oil change.

To be fair, it's about the same cost as an oil change for an Audi.

Of course, the Cayenne is a front engine car with an easy to access engine. The 911 needs some body panels removed to get to the engine.

Wow that is expensive.

nope, Audi charges 50% less .......$120; at least for my A5 2.0T w/5 qt capacity.

There are two dealers in Atlanta and they charge the same. I could save money by going to an independent but I tend to get cool loaners when the Cayenne goes in for service. I have gone through 2 oil changes and the car only has 8k miles. I just don't drive it enough each year but Porsche recommends changing the oil annually.
