Why Are Oil Changes So Important?

Engine oil is responsible for lubricating the working components inside your Porsche’s engine while reducing the amount of friction between them. Because the engine generates a substantial amount of heat, oil acts as a cooling agent as it circulates through the engine. The oil filter is just that. It filters out the debris and contaminants for clean free-flowing oil.

During an oil change, the old oil will be replaced with new oil and a new oil filter. At the end of every oil and filter change, our staff will have ensured that your engine oil is clean and the working parts of your engine are properly lubricated. Oil and filter changes are quick and cost-effective preventative maintenance that helps promote maximum vehicle performance for your Porsche.

Synthetic Oil Benefits

Synthetic oil is superior to conventional oil in many ways. It doesn’t thicken or thin out in extreme temperatures, has greater shear strength, is free of impurities, and has better additives. Although it may be more expensive, synthetic oil lasts longer and is often required for new vehicles.

Also, unlike conventional oil, synthetic oil is free of paraffin-like impurities and features additives that help your Porsche maintain its performance. Make sure to check your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendations on what type of oil and how often to change your oil, using a different oil may void your warranty.

How Do I Know It’s Time to Change My Porsche’s Oil?

Regular maintenance intervals, including oil and filter changes, extend your Porsche life. Older Porsche models or models using conventional oil should come in for an inspection every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or sooner, depending on your driving habits. New Porsche models using synthetic oil should be brought in every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. If you frequent the track or go on long touring trips, it’s recommended that you get your Porsche serviced more frequently to ensure optimum performance.

It’s recommended that you consult your Porsche Owner’s Manual for details on your car’s maintenance schedule, but if you notice any of the following, you should consider bringing your car in for immediate service.

• Check engine or oil change lights come on, typically, one of these lights might come on if your oil levels are too low.
• Smoke comes out of the exhaust, dark smoke can be an indicator of a serious issue with your car besides just the oil, which is why you should have it inspected immediately.
• Engine knocking sound, as your oil becomes old or starts to deplete, the parts in your engine will rub against each other, causing a knocking sound.
• If your Porsche is showing dirty oil when checking the oil, it is time for an oil change. Your engine oil should be amber in color and slightly translucent. Over time, the oil in your engine accumulates debris and particles, which can cause it to appear darker and grittier.

How to Check Oil Level

Checking your Porsche’s oil level regularly is essential for maintaining your vehicle’s health. This is especially important before any long trips, track visits, and before winter. A convenient and reliable time for checking your oil is while filling your fuel tank. Here are a few quick and easy guidelines to ensure your oil level is always up to par.

Steps:

1. Run the engine until it has reached its normal operating temperature.
2. Park your vehicle on a completely level surface and shut off the engine.
3. Allow the engine to cool for a few minutes before proceeding.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean with a cloth or paper towel.
5. Reinsert the dipstick fully and then withdraw it again to check the oil level.
6. Hold the dipstick horizontally so that the oil does not drip onto the ground.
7. If the oil level is not between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick, you will need to top it off.
8. Be sure to check your owner’s manual for the appropriate oil for your Porsche, as each type of Porsche requires its own specific oil.

By following these simple guidelines, you can ensure that your Porsche’s oil level is always at an appropriate level. This will help to keep your vehicle running smoothly and prevent any unnecessary damage or wear and tear. Remember to check your oil level regularly, and if you notice anything troubling, contact the team at Porsche Exchange.
