Time or Mileage Based Service Intervals and
Maintenance Schedules for Porsche Macan Models

Porsche Macan All Models 2015 – 2018
Maintenance Service Schedule

The factory recommended maintenance schedule for the Porsche Macan 2015 thru 2018 is shown below. Maintenance is due annually, with an intermediate service at 2 years or 20K miles and a major service at 4 years or 40K miles. The Turbo requires a spark plug change at 3 years/30K miles.

Porsche Macan Maintenance Costs

We recommend budgeting $110 per month for routine service, which will cover the cost of annual, intermediate, and major maintenance over a four-year period. Additionally, you should plan extra expense for tires and brakes, depending on your mileage. Expert Porsche shops can save you 20% on Macan maintenance compared to dealer service.

Porsche Macan Recommended Maintenance Intervals

To keep your Porsche Macan healthy, we recommend you inspect the car and change the engine oil and filter annually or every 10K miles. The original Porsche Macan maintenance schedule calls for an intermediate service at 20K or two years, and a major service at 4 year or 40K mile intervals. Additional maintenance items are also required at the 6 year and 16 year interval.

Recommendations for Macan Maintenance

We recommend you ignore the 80K recommendation for the replacement of air filters and do this sooner! Also, given the number of transfer case issues on the Porsche Macan, we recommend you change the all-wheel-drive controller oil every 40K miles. Follow the PDK maintenance schedule to avoid PDK problems.

What’s Included at the Macan Service Interval

Many people become confused by Porsche maintenance schedules. The intervals and maintenance items are cumulative –  so for clarity, a 4 year service includes all the maintenance items recommended at the 4 year interval, plus all maintenance items from the 2 year and annual maintenance interval as well.

Safety and Maintenance Inspection

Every annual service should include a rigorous safety inspection. It’s essential this is carried out by a highly skilled and experience Porsche technician who knows the likely wear characteristics of your Porsche, and can identify issues of concern at an early stage. A thorough inspection will also reveal those maintenance items that have been influenced by local conditions.

Lifetime Maintenance Items

Some maintenance items are described as “lifetime,” such as coolant, for example. It’s important during the inspection to discover the health of these “lifetime” items. If you need cold weather protection from your coolant, you’ll find the “lifetime” is considerably shorter than you might expect! Identifying mechanical problems at an early stage allows planning and budgeting for the necessary work.

Porsche Macan Local Maintenance Requirements

It’s also worth considering that environment and road conditions effect maintenance requirements on your Porsche Macan. Negative wind chill in the northern states means you need healthy cold weather protection from your “lifetime” coolant. On the other hand, the problems of a sand filled air filter in Arizona, are unlikely to show up in Boston! Seek the advice of an independent Porsche repair shop for local maintenance recommendations.
