Service Intervals and Maintenance Schedules for Porsche Cayman Models
Service Intervals and Maintenance Schedules with Recommendations For All Porsche Cayman Models
The following sections provide scheduled maintenance details for Porsche Cayman models – 987, 981, 982, or 718. Each section shows the recommended service interval, replacement maintenance items, and includes the original factory schedule document.
When to Service Your Porsche Cayman
No harm is done by performing more maintenance than the factory plan. A lack of maintenance can have catastrophic results. A new set of spark plugs or new air filter will always make your engine run better. With low mileage, pay attention to the time that has elapsed for a service item. For example, never let spark plugs stay in the engine past a 10 year period – you may not be able to remove them!
Cayman Annual Maintenance Recommended
Regardless of mileage, we recommend having your Cayman inspected for safety and the engine oil and filter changed annually. It’s also important to clear the roof drains and complete a battery CCA test at the same time.
Cayman Maintenance Service Indicators
Most Porsche models feature some kind of dashboard indicator or message reminder for maintenance intervals. On later models, the indicator displays time and mileage left before a service interval. These are the annual, intermediate, and major service intervals. Before the service becomes due, the indicator will appear in the driver message display.
Number of Days and Mileage Left Until Service Due
The service indicator shows days remaining before the service is due and also the mileage remaining. How you drive your car will influence the gap between these two numbers. A large amount of miles left until service with a short amount of days is typical of low mileage cars where time elapsed between service has exceeded mileage driven.
Porsche Cayman Maintenance Service Questions
Many people become confused by Porsche maintenance schedules. The intervals and maintenance items are cumulative – so for clarity, a 4 year service includes all the maintenance items recommended at the 4 year interval, plus all maintenance items from the 2 year interval, and the annual maintenance interval as well.
Some maintenance service terminology and recommendations can be confusing.

Porsche Cayman Local Maintenance Requirements
It’s also worth considering that environment and road conditions effect maintenance requirements. Negative wind chill in the northern states means you need healthy cold weather protection from your “lifetime” coolant. On the other hand, the problems of a sand filled air filter in Arizona, are unlikely to show up in Minnesota! Seek the advice of an independent Porsche repair shop for local maintenance recommendations.
