It's up to each owner of these now old cars to decide if they feel lucky or not. I'm not usually the lucky kind, so i'm changing mine for sure.

i totally agree with this , if they start checking them and suggesting changing... they are openly admitting its an issue which they have never done.. But they did quietly introduce the IMSB as a replaceable part..
I would NEVER believe what Porsche says about this issue ... its because of them that so many owners needlessly suffered...
The first " sign of failure" is your engine grenading as its absolutely absurd they expect owners to cut the oil filter open and have oil analysis every oil change....
Stop listening to one of the most successful marketing companies in the world and wake up to the reality these things fail at ANY mileage.
if you are right there and dont even look at it .. you only have your own ignorance to blame.
