Your 2017 718 Cayman’s oil should be changed according to Porsche’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your 718 Cayman may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2017 Porsche 718 Cayman

  • What can low oil do to my Porsche 718 Cayman engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Porsche 718 Cayman engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Porsche 718 Cayman oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Porsche 718 Cayman spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Porsche 718 Cayman oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Porsche 718 Cayman oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Porsche 718 Cayman oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Porsche 718 Cayman oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to change my 718 Cayman's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Porsche 718 Cayman oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
