The other concern not yet mentioned in this discussion is oil temp and film strength. It appears to be critical to never let the oil get too hot. Thus, I am looking into a data logging system that can provide temp alerts and possibly an external oil cooler.
I'll have to continue researching these subjects. Right now, not exactly sure what to do.

I lost a 944 engine within accusump
We've been lucky since adding an oil cooler and running amsoil.
Is that the key? I don't know.
My next plan for my boxster s is an oil cooler and low temp
Thermostat.
Not sure I'll go all the way to an accusump.
