Major Service:
Significant service items like spark plugs, fuel filters, and belt inspections are often recommended at 30,000-60,000 km intervals. Timing belt replacement is not applicable as the 964 uses a chain-driven camshaft system, but chain tensioner and guide maintenance might be detailed. The manual explicitly lists 'TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT' which might refer to accessory belts or a misunderstanding in the product description as the engine itself is chain-driven. Clarification in manual would be needed.
