How much does it cost to service your Porsche Cayman Boxster 987 yourself? OEM v aftermarket parts

In this video I compare the price of the parts required to service your Porsche, from genuine parts from Porsche to OEM aftermarket. This is for the 987 Cayman or Boxster. Some of these parts will be common among other Porsche models like the 911 Carrera.
I compare the following parts;
Oil filter
Sump washer
Oil
Pollen filter
Air filter
Spark plugs

Thank you for these video’s. Getting a Cayman soon and I am definitely gonna have to be doing all this myself. No way in hell Im paying the mechanics prices.

Crazy savings on the pollen filter

I'm in America so the translation is a bit different. But I'm more genuinely curious as to how much the service is through Porsche in it's entirety with labor. Well over $1000 for sure.
For what it's worth, I just did a full service to my high mileage 08 Cayman S (oil additives being the extra) for $309. That's x6 Bosch FGR5KQE0 spark plugs, Mobil 1 75w-90 manual transmission oil, LiquiMoly 5w-40 motor oil with two bottles of Ceratec additive, OEM Air filter, and a 160deg water pump to help combat the scoring problems associated with the 3.4. As a bonus, while doing the plugs I was actually able to borescope the cylinders to check for scoring. Some light ring dragging marks but pretty clean overall. Super happy.
The biggest plus of doing your own service is that you know you did it right. You don't have to wonder what some mechanic did to your car 5 minutes before leaving for the day in haste.

Carparts4less do a lot of those items for even less. The only problem I have is who is doing the checks on your car? It's not just changing oil and filters, there is a long list of components that need to be checked at each service. If you can do those checks yourself then you're good to go.

You are describing the cost of buying the parts needed to service your Porsche, but they key is ... actually servicing your Porsche. Let's see that video, with a live timer ;)

Good video. But if you’re replacing the plugs, you should replace the coils too.
