How often should I service my 2008 Porsche 911?

Here’s Why 2008 Porsche 911 Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Take care of your Porsche 911 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 911 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 911, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2008 Porsche 911 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Porsche themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 911 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2008 Porsche 911 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2008 Porsche 911 and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 911’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2008 Porsche 911. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 911 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Porsche 911 battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 911 stranded. Your Porsche 911 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
