Porsche oil change costs about $400, minor service (every 2 years) usually costs about $1,000 and major service (every 4 years) costs about $2,500 at the dealerships.
plug change on the turbo cars is def more of a pain, but more of a rewarding DIY process in the end. Buy yourself a few extra beers and have at it. Did the plugs on my 997 turbo last weekend and it was 8 hours start to finish but in the end it was a rewarding job.
