970 - 2010-2013 Panamera Maintenance Schedule - B market countries (USA)

[ciaka]

I thought I would collect this for ease of use by forum members.

Hope it helps with questions like 'when should I do this', or what kind of maintenance at xxxx miles. 

All of the below pertains only to B markets.

Porsche organizes countries it sells its cars to, into markets, classified as A, B, or C.

USA falls into the B market category, and since I reside there, below info will be only for B markets.

If you live in other market, I am sure you can approximate durations, etc, but from what I see, there is language stating countries with leaded fuel do their maintenance on intervals that are shorter than in B markets. So please go check your market or take the info as an approximation only.

Also, I have Panamera Turbo, so these intervals are for this model. Most models follow same if not very similar schedule though.



B market countries:
Armenia, Australia, Bahrain, Brunei, Bulgaria, Estonia, French Polynesia, GhanaIndonesia, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Canada, Kazakhstan, Qatar, KuwaitLatvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Moldova, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Oman, Philippines, Reunion, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Korea, SyriaTaiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, USA, UAE (Abu Dhabi, Dubai), Vietnam, Belarus, Cyprus.

Other noteworthy remarks from reviewing the maintenance schedule:
- PDCC reservoir change replacement recommended only for C markets (non USA), at 90k km or 54k miles, then again at 240k km or 144k miles or after 16 years
- PDK transmission oil change mentioned only for B markets (Panamera S E-hybrid, Panamera S hybrid only), at 90k km or 54k miles, then again at 240k km or 144k miles or after 16 years.



I will be checking the maintenance schedule book inside the car to compare. If there are differences, I can chime in. 
This is really surprising. There are many places where PDK, PDCC reservoir is called for after 60k. I do not see that in the FSM.
Some food for thought.

I made this a tutorial - in the maintenance section (so it can easily be found).

 

I will close this topic so any questions or comments stay with the tutorial.
