The Porsche Cayenne... just a few years ago, many vehicles with low mileage and new model years hit the market, but now, with the arrival of facelifted models, older versions are becoming quite common. Now, for these vehicles, you probably don't visit the service center just for maintenance or part replacements anymore, right? Haha!
Porsche doesn't even provide free coupons for the Cayenne; so don't linger on it any longer. Instead, manage your vehicle at a reasonable price at a specialized import car service center. Go for it!

Nearby Hwaseong, Dongtan, Osan
is a great place for Porsche and import car maintenance.
Look for the green or yellow sign that says "Gio Car."
This is the normal 3.0 model of the Cayenne.
I recommended the components above.
The air cleaner (aftermarket) / oil filter (genuine) and engine oil should be Mobil 1 ESP with a viscosity of 0W-40 / and we always provide one bottle of washer fluid for free.
To put it simply, the only additional component compared to the basic engine oil change at the service center is the air cleaner. By using this aftermarket part, you can reduce overall replacement costs.
The oil filter is available in OEM Mahle products instead of genuine, so I recommend this as a basic option. However, if you don't mind the replacement cost, I suggest going with the genuine part.
Finally, the engine oil, which the Cayenne 3.0 normally recommends as 0W-20, tends to consume and get contaminated quickly, so I recommend Mobil 1 0W-40. For reference, this specification is used in the GTS and Turbo models as standard.
Shall we start working?!
Here is the air cleaner.
Porsche usually hides this behind the bumper, but in the Cayenne and Macan, it’s located in the engine room. It's unique in shape, and while the aftermarket parts can be expensive (the genuine part costs just over $100), the labor cost is less, so make sure to get this done!
The oil filter is genuine, and we sometimes use aftermarket filters based on the consultation during the estimate, so please keep that in mind.
The cartridge filter and O-ring are included.
We will secure it accurately with a torque wrench.
To replace the oil filter, we need to remove various components located above it in the engine room. We'll organize everything properly!
The service items include washer fluid and
Checking the coolant level... if it's low, we will refill it for free. How's the current status? Good!
The air cleaner is located at the top of the engine room,
We will drain the engine oil.
When we remove a few undercovers, the oil pan becomes visible, and we can check it while draining—what a sweet service!
When else would you get to see the underside of your vehicle? Haha!
Fortunately, there are no major issues with the vehicle!
If you had to find something, it might be the dirty air conditioning filter?! Haha!
Interestingly, Cayennes and other import vehicles often don't get their air conditioning filters changed... They seem expensive to replace, and DIY replacements can be tricky, so it's just a hassle.
This vehicle had a record of previous visits, so I checked, and there hasn't been a replacement in the last two years... we will replace the air conditioning filter.
You can see in the photos... the filter is rotten, haha!
I made sure to take care of it.
Porsche engine oil = Mobil 1, haha!
The correct amount leveling is essential!
Especially since the Porsche Cayenne tends to consume oil heavily, we ensure the oil level is set to MAX.
This way, you can avoid seeing the oil consumption warning light as much as possible.
The Cayenne reset occurs during maintenance or oil changes, and I will check both and take care of it.
It took about 50 minutes to complete this work.
We provide accurate service with aftermarket parts compared to genuine ones.
You can just drive without any worries.
When you first get a new car, you tend to worry about every little detail, but as you gain experience, you become familiar with it and start considering cost-effectiveness!
