How Often to Change 2018 Porsche Panamera Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2018 Porsche Panamera? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2018 Panamera’s oil should be changed according to Porsche’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. 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 vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Porsche if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Porsche Panamera. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 2018 Porsche Panamera?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2018 Porsche Panamera motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Porsche has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 2018 Panamera. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your Panamera’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Panamera by considering your driving habits, and odometer.

2018 Porsche Panamera Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Porsche Panamera motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Porsche Panamera engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Porsche oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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 Panamera spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Porsche Panamera? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Porsche Panamera oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Porsche Panamera to illuminate? The oil change light in your Porsche Panamera could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Panamera's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Porsche Panamera every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
