2013-2016 Porsche Cayman Maintenance & Service Schedule
The Porsche Cayman (981), produced from 2013 to 2016, delivered improved reliability, sharp handling, and a more refined driving experience over its predecessor. While Porsche originally recommended oil changes every 10,000–15,000 miles, many owners today choose to change the oil every 5,000–7,500 miles to ensure long-term engine health.
In this comprehensive maintenance guide, we outline the recommended service schedule, covering key areas like engine oil changes, brake fluid flushes, transmission servicing (manual & PDK), coolant system upkeep, and suspension maintenance. We also highlight common concerns, such as timing chain tensioner issues, PDK servicing, and potential wear items that owners should monitor as the cars age. With all 981 Caymans now at least 8 years old, proactive maintenance is key to ensuring performance, reliability, and driving enjoyment. Check out the full guide below to keep your Cayman in peak condition for years to come!
