McLaren splits the maintenance schedule across a dozen different SIS pages. A-Service here, B-Service there, brake fluid over in another section entirely. If you want to know what is actually due at 15,000 miles without clicking through eight different menus, this page is for you.
I pulled every interval from the factory SIS and consolidated it into one table. The numbers below are what McLaren specifies — not the shortened intervals some independent shops recommend to keep you coming back more often.
Every 7,500 miles (or 12 months, whichever comes first):
Every 15,000 miles (or 24 months):
Every 30,000 miles (or 48 months):
Every 60,000 miles (or 96 months):
The factory intervals are minimums for normal driving. If you drive hard, track the car, or live somewhere with extreme temperatures, shorten everything by about 30%.
Here is where I disagree with McLaren:
Differential oil: McLaren says 60,000 miles. I change it at 30,000. The rear LSD in the 720S handles a lot of torque and the fluid degrades faster than McLaren admits. It is cheap insurance.
Brake fluid: DOT 4 absorbs moisture over time regardless of mileage. If you live in a humid climate, change it annually even if you have not hit the mile marker. Moisture in brake fluid lowers the boiling point, and that matters when you are stopping a 3,200-pound car from 120mph.
Cabin air filter: McLaren says inspect every A-Service. Replace it every time. The Pacific Northwest air is full of pollen and mold spores in spring, and I am not breathing that recirculated.
These are the maintenance items that fall through the cracks because they do not trigger a dashboard warning:
I use a simple spreadsheet with columns for: service item, last date, last mileage, next due date, next due mileage. Update it after every service. Set phone reminders two weeks before each due date.
Alternatively, MDS can pull the service history from the car computer if the previous owner or dealer logged services properly. Worth checking when you buy a used 720S — if the service history is not in the car computer, treat the documented history with skepticism.
If you take the 720S to the track, everything changes. See the track day preparation guide for specific intervals. Short version: change oil after every track day, inspect brakes after every session, and check fluid levels before and after.
This schedule covers normal road use. Adjust based on your driving style, climate, and how hard you push the car. When in doubt, check the SIS procedures for the specific torque specs and part numbers.
