Meat Head, just as a precaution I would still get a magnetic drain plug, do frequent oil changes and cut open and inspect the filter for metallic particles with each change. Still, we should take comfort from the fact that less than 1% reported dual-row bearing failures to Porsche, as opposed to 8-10% for the single row. This is a HUGE difference and when one considers that the dual-row bearing cars are now at least 13 years old and are likely on average to have higher mileage than the newer single-bearing cars (and that we have no way of knowing what were the oil change frequencies and driving habits of the ones that did fail), well yes, we should be able to rest much easier.
