Expect to pay between 1400 and 2500. I think that's how much I paid. I don't have the list of what they did. But there was some other problems with my car.
Yellow - less than what's been quoted. It's more than just an oil and filter change (what's done at the 15K service) and includes spark plugs among other parts.
Go to a Porsche specialty shop. I don't know if Arling does the service on the cars, but I've gotten good service at Speed Gallery in Studio City. Talk to Allan.

Depending on the year of the car and type, the 30K service may or may not specify plugs. If you have a 2001 or later 996 the plug change interval is 60K, not 30K. If the car is on a 2 year anniversary, then it is advised to replace the brake fluid as well.
The 30K service is essentially the 15K service (which is oil change and pollen filter) plus the addition of the air filter change. There are also the normal number of inspections to see if your car still has tires, doors, a horn etc.
Those checklists can be found here.
If your CEL lamp is not lit, then there is nothing wrong with your engine.
Stevens Creek Porsche in San Jose changes $399 for the 30K service. Which is about right for type of operation. (2 hours labor + parts)
The net cost of parts and oil is about$135, and the actual time involved is about 90 minutes if you are real slow.
DIY or having an independent shop perform this maintenance will not impact your warranty.
This type of maintenance is a real money maker for a dealership, and they usually charge according to how much they can get away with, and your GQ (Gullibility Quotient. The higher it is, the more you pay).
If you are not capable of DIY an oil and filter change, then by all means do not spend more than $400 to have someone else do it for you.
Here in San Francisco I just got a dealer service coupon. 30K service is $550 (w/o spark plugs). $799 (with sparkplugs).
15K Service is on sale for $395.00
I do not know what the non sale price is.
