Porsche vehicles are engineered with performance in mind, so if you want to get the most out of your Porsche, then you must ensure every part of your engine is repaired using high-quality parts. An oil change is the most routine vehicle maintenance you will need to have at Porsche West Broward.
What Kind of Oil Change Should You Get for Your Porsche?
Today’s Porsche vehicles typically use Mobil 1 motor oil. This engine oil has been specifically formulated to meet the high-performance standards of your Porsche engine. However, if you own a classic Porsche vehicle, then your engine oil of choice should be Porsche Classic. Porsche Classic motor oil is formulated for older engine designs, including air-cooled four-cylinder or six-cylinder flat engines and water-cooled engines with four, six, or eight cylinders.
Why Is Engine Oil Important?
Motor oil is essential for the health and ongoing performance of your Porsche engine. Your engine oil is responsible for lubricating your engine to reduce friction that can wear down engine components, absorbing contaminants from the engine, neutralizing acids to prevent corrosion, and cooling the engine. When your engine oil is old, it will not perform these tasks well, and this could compromise your engine in the future.
How Frequently Does Your Porsche Need Oil Service?
You should always schedule your oil service according to the recommended maintenance schedule found in your Porsche owner’s manual. For modern Porsche vehicles, this usually means you should schedule service every 7,500 miles, which is about once a year. However, if you drive aggressively, for long periods, or in hot weather, you may need to schedule oil service more frequently.
What Other Service Can You Have at Your Porsche Dealer?
In addition to oil service, your authorized dealership can perform many other common services. Porsche mechanics can perform general automotive repairs when you spot a sign of a mechanical issue, such as squealing brakes or dark smoke from the exhaust. The air conditioning system and heating system can also be repaired at your dealership. Certified Porsche technicians are experts in Porsche batteries, brakes, starters, and transmissions.
If you aren’t sure what repairs your car needs, then your Porsche mechanic can conduct a thorough engine diagnostic test to detect major issues and underlying problems. A simple tune-up can also get your Porsche back into peak performance condition. All repairs are done using genuine Porsche original equipment manufacturer parts.
Keeping the motor oil in your engine topped off is important for the overall performance of your Porsche. Fortunately, scheduling an oil service at your local authorized dealership means that genuine Porsche motor oil will be used to replace the oil in your engine. Schedule a service appointment when you call Porsche West Broward.
