I've had the car for about 3years and am the 2nd owner. I got the car with just shy of 15k on the clock and it has a little over 20k miles now. The first owner did all the work through Brumos Porsche and had 3 annual oil changes with Mobil 1 0w-40, basically with each oil change covering about 4,000 to 6,000 miles on the car.

I change the oil every 6 months with Redline 5w-40. Each change covers roughly 1,000 miles.

Yes, the car had recently been pulled out of storage. It had been driven maybe 40-50 miles over a few days before this issue.
