It's oil / filter change only, correct?

I had the 2 year intermediate done last year. Dealer is saying cabin filter is on yearly schedule too... if so I'll just replace that myself. But list I have shows that on the every 2 year schedule.

Thanks

The unknown is why I take mine to the dealership. They inspect everything in addition to the required service and let me know if anything underneath is loose, leaking or potentially problematic. Simply changing the oil doesn't get you that complete feedback on the unseen.

Agreed and why I'm taking it to the dealer for the maintenance, but I don't want to pay for items that aren't on the maintenance checklist unless they are needed / warranted. I just checked again and my manual + the checklist on porsche.com states cabin filter is every 2 years / 20k miles.

oadams is infamous around these parts
I have a 997.1 and it is two years or 20K. I bought it used so I am changing every 10K - but then again I like changing the oil.

Agree. Luckily, my dealer has never suggested anything I've not needed. Hopefully yours is as good.
