Maintenance Plan

[arbita1]

It's a very complete list. I like that you indicate things by mileage AND years as different things require replacement at different times...not just mileage.

Here's my list if anyone's interested:


Item Frequency

Change Oil & Oil Filter- Once/Year
Check Manual Transmission Oil Level- Once/Year
Body Seals/Throttle Cable, Lubricating- Once/Year
Brake System Check- Once/Year
Front/Rear Suspension Check - Once/Year
Replace Spark Plugs- Once/2 Years
Replace Brake Fluid- Once/2 Years
Replace Air Filter - Once/2 Years
Check & Adjust Valve Clearance- 15,000 Miles
Check Clutch Cable Play - 15,000 Miles
Replace V-Belt - 30,000 Miles
Replace Transmission Fluid- 30,000 Miles
Replace Fuel Filter - 60,000 Miles

Resurrecting this thread. Does anyone have this doc available?

Seems to me I saw a really large one on here some time ago - I will search for it and re-post or Edit this.
I didn't see Greg's ss, it's probably more up-to-date.

edit: here is the thread I mentioned, and is not meant to replace the spreadsheet. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/189572-long-term-commonly-neglected-maintenance.html

The spreadsheet is saved on Google Docs, and Google must have changed their link. I am not sure why I could not edit my original post to update the URL, but am reposting the the updated link.

This is not a definitive list. It was simply my compilation of thoughts and opinions people were sharing regarding maintenance intervals. If there was more than one opinion, I used the more conservative (frequent) interval. Please consider this a starting point. You should be able to download the spreadsheet as a .xlsx file and make any adjustments you choose.

Hope it's beneficial to you.

Good list, but overdone for a maintenance program.

My list is:
oil once a year
oil filter once a year
valve adjustment at 15K
Gear oil at 30K or 2 years
brake fluid every 2 years
and repair everything else as they come up

Good list. That's about what I do - or should do.
