Hopefully by now you have read and did research regarding the "potential" IMS Bearing Failure, you will hear both sides of the argument, replace your oil with the highest quality synthetic every 3,000miles, cut your oil filter and look for fragments, drive it like you stole it (should do that anyway) and given it is a 99 like mine with the dual row bearing (very low failure rate) don't worry about it OR do all the above and also find a good Porsche mechanic/shop that will drop the transmission and inspect it and then replace with LN Engineering Retrofit which I did and then not have to worry about it, re-check it every 50kmiles after........"IF" you become a victim of the "rare" IMS failure with the 99, $4700 will be a down payment for a new engine......
