Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Porsche Taycan need regular oil changes?
No — the Taycan has no combustion engine, so there is no engine oil. However, the PDU (Porsche Drive Unit) gearbox does use oil that Porsche inspects periodically. The regular annual service covers brake fluid, cabin filter, brakes, tires, and system inspection.
How much does Taycan service cost at Express Auto?
Taycan annual service at Express Auto includes Porsche-approved brake fluid, OEM filters and a full PIWIS 4 diagnostic scan. We quote it after an inspection, so the price matches the parts your car actually needs.
Can Express Auto read Taycan fault codes and diagnostics?
Yes. We use PIWIS 4, Porsche’s factory diagnostic tester, to read fault codes and live data across the Taycan’s control modules: drive unit, battery management, PASM and charging system.
How often should Taycan brake fluid be replaced?
Porsche specifies every 2 years regardless of mileage. Because the Taycan uses regenerative braking heavily, the physical brakes are used less often — but this actually makes moisture contamination more important to monitor, as brake fluid absorbs moisture over time regardless of use.
