Porsche engines run hot and hard, and in Dubai’s summer that is even more true. The oil has to protect turbochargers, timing chains and bearings at high temperature, so Porsche specifies its own approvals, such as A40 for most petrol engines and C30 for some V6 and diesel engines, with newer approvals on the latest models. Orange Auto changes your Porsche’s oil with an oil that meets the approval for your engine, fits a new filter, checks the level the way your model requires and resets the service indicator.
We check your engine and model year to confirm the correct Porsche oil approval, grade and capacity.
The old oil is drained warm, so it carries more contaminants out with it, and the drain plug seal is renewed.
A new filter element and seals are fitted, and the old filter is checked for metal particles or debris.
The engine is refilled and the level is checked through the instrument display or dipstick, following the procedure for your model.
With the engine running, we check the filter housing and drain plug for leaks and look for any other oil seeps.
We check tyre pressures, lights, wipers and fluid levels while the car is with us.
The oil service indicator is reset and we note the date and mileage for your records.

Look for the Porsche approval code on the bottle, such as A40 or C30, rather than just the viscosity. That code is what matters for your engine.
Many Porsches have no dipstick and show the oil level on the instrument display. Check it every few fuel fills.
Heat, traffic and track days are hard on oil. Many owners in the UAE change oil more often than the maximum interval.
After a hard drive, idle gently for a short time before switching off, so oil keeps flowing through hot turbochargers.
Which oil does my Porsche need?Most petrol Porsches need oil with the A40 approval, while some V6 and diesel engines need C30, and the newest models have their own approvals. We confirm it for your car.
How often should I change my Porsche’s oil?At least once a year, or at the interval shown by the service indicator. Hard use in hot weather can justify changing it sooner.
How long does an oil change take?Usually about an hour.
