Porsche Cayenne (955/957) Maintenance & Service Schedule

2002-2006 Porsche Cayenne Service Schedule

The Porsche Cayenne 955 (2003–2006) and 957 (2008–2010) were Porsche’s first foray into the SUV market, bringing sports car performance, off-road capability, and luxury together in one package. While these models were built to last, all first-generation Cayennes are now well over a decade old, meaning they require a more proactive maintenance approach than when they were new.

In this guide, we provide both the original factory maintenance schedule and an updated recommendation to account for aging components, wear-prone areas, and different usage histories—whether your Cayenne has been a daily driver, tow vehicle, or off-road adventurer. We cover oil change intervals (shortened from factory recommendations), brake system maintenance, transmission and drivetrain servicing, cooling system checks, and suspension upkeep. Additionally, we highlight common issues, such as plastic coolant pipe failures (955 models), driveshaft center support bearing wear, and air suspension concerns in Turbo models.
