3k oil changes

for the past 2 years i have been changing my oil every 3k (castrol 5/40) . I did a change yesterday and took a close look at the filter . I could only find a very few little particles . It seems that frequent oil changes keeps things much healthier in the M96. I got a chance to look at an M96 broken down at A PCA meeting and some of the passages the oil has to travel through are so small it is a wonder clean oil can move through them. Clean oil is key to these motors in my opinion.

I also did my AOS , and let me tell you 03 cars are not the same as earlier cars , maybe a little easier to install . So be care full if you reference 101 boxster projects with an 03 , 04 car they are not the same.
