Need more info about 2012 Porsche Panamera oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties.

Porsche recommends having your 2012 Porsche Panamera’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Panamera in the above table. Outside of Porsche-recommended oil change intervals, your Panamera may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Porsche recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Porsche Panamera. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
