When to Change 2017 Porsche Cayenne Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Porsche Cayenne’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Porsche recommends changing your 2017 Cayenne’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Cayenne may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Porsche recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Porsche Cayenne. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
