What Type Of Oil Should I Use In My Porsche Cayman?
The best type of oil to use in your Porsche Cayman is synthetic oil. This is because synthetic oil provides superior protection for your engine, even in the most extreme conditions. Synthetic oil also helps to keep your engine clean and free of deposits.
Porsche Cayman Oil Change Intervals
Porsche recommends changing your Porsche Cayman oil & filter every 3,000-5,000 miles for conventional oil, but synthetic oil generally should be changed less frequently–every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. It’s important to check with your dealer and consult your owner’s manual to determine the best intervals for YOUR vehicle.
