When the motor was torn down, it was still within new tolerances. This was presented as a tech session at a Porsche Parade.

I would love to see the data on that. I can tell you that ANY oil is shot at 20K miles and the 100K is a joke in my experience. Now, if the car was using a qt of oil per say 1000 miles, then, well you get the picture.

If you can provide details on this story, I would appreciate it.
