Not that anyone cares, but comparatively, All my Porsches were every 10k miles on oil changes, and my GT3 had that pesky plug change at 10k miles too. I think it's a way to keep the perceived "warranty" work down in these higher ends car is to service them more aggressively!

They did allllll the fluids, including brake service, checked pads, tires, changed air filters, and verified my tires had sufficient tread on them to meet the CPO requirements.

30k is right about where 3 oil changes would be if you’re driving the car enough each year. But yes, it’s tied to 3rd oil change. So not necessarily due by mileage alone.

The dealer was shocked that I still had a little bit of tread left at 25k miles on my PS4S before needing to replace it. I was expecting to replace them at 12-15k miles but glad they lasted 25k miles.

Guess i'm stupid lucky then. Im at almost 18K, on original plugs, plugged it in to ISTA, clean as a baby's butt (post-shower baby's butt).


I called the dealer when they CPO'd it, and they confirmed it's on the original plugs. I'm up for the 3rd service in april, I guess I'll tell them to replace the plugs along with filters and wipers.

Plugs are included in 3rd oil service
