Porsche vehicles have long been recognized for their superior engineering and a big reason for this is the OEM Porsche parts that go into its engine and other areas of the vehicle. If you need a part replaced, be sure to follow these simple tips so your Porsche can continue to outperform the competition, the way it’s meant to.
Keep Up With Routine Maintenance
The best way to know if your Porsche’s parts are up to speed is to have them inspected by a factory-trained technician. When you bring your Porsche in for a routine service appointment, you have the opportunity to spot areas of concern before they become an even bigger problem. This could mean changing brake rotors, tire balance, and various other parts that tend to wear down over time. The technician will advise you of which parts are ok and which ones should be replaced.
Don’t Replace Parts Yourself
While knowing your way around a car engine can come in handy with most vehicles, special care and technology should always be applied when changing parts on a Porsche vehicle. At an authorized Porsche dealership, your vehicle will be in the hands of factory-trained experts who have the latest state of the art technology and OEM parts at their disposal. An investment like a Porsche should receive nothing less than that.
Always Use OEM Parts
Porsche OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are crafted and designed by Porsche to fit perfectly into your vehicle. These parts undergo a rigorous testing process and most importantly, have warranties to back them up. Sure, opting for aftermarket parts could save you a few bucks, but when things go wrong and the part malfunctions, no one is held accountable. This leaves you with a new broken part and more out of pocket than before.
Order Parts From an Authorized Dealer
Car parts websites are becoming all too common these days, and more people are opting to order parts online and bring them to their local mechanic to have them installed. Not only do you risk not getting an authentic part by doing this, but you also don’t have a guarantee that a local mechanic has the technology and tools to ensure everything is installed properly. Ordering parts from a Porsche dealer guarantees your OEM part is installed by a Porsche expert.
Don’t Forget to Change Your Oil
Luckily, driving a Porsche means oil changes don’t happen as frequently as other vehicles. On average Porsches are driven less throughout the year, and the high-grade motor oil they require has a longer road life than most oils.
But that doesn’t mean you should push your oil changes longer than required. The oil in your Porsche vehicle is vital for its engine parts to function smoothly and without friction, which means routine oil changes are essential to preventing problems to your vehicle’s engine.
