Replacing the battery when it comes time is easy, and you've hit on most other regular maintenance jobs, the Cayman is pretty reliable and with that list you're pretty well set.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

I'm a new 987 owner (2006, 47,000 miles) and no mechanic by any means, but I'm used to doing basic stuff on my own cars and motorcycles: Oil and filter changes transmission fluid change air filter [done] other basic fluids, brakes, power steering, etc. valve adjustments (pretty easy on a BMW boxer) As I say, pretty basic stuff. What else should I be able to do myself on this car? And more importantly, what are the other areas to watch out for and have a Porsche dealer do, in terms of routine maintenance? It looks like the only complication with the Boxster S is access to the engine and low ground clearance. Guess I have to invest in some ramps.

POST 4Original post

Well you can forget about valve adjustment, the Cayman doesn't require/need it. You can add belt replacement to the list, not bad and ApexL8 has a complete instruction guide on this job. Replacing the battery when it comes time is easy, and you've hit on most other regular maintenance jobs, the Cayman is pretty reliable and with that list you're pretty well set. Cabin filter is also easy to change. I wish it had a fuel filter but that is inside the tank, so its not on the list.
