It looked like he didn't even change the oil while he had the car (about 3 years with 10K; carfax report). The filter looked realy bad and the oil was a bit thick and syrup.

I'll just changed it early next time. By then, we'll have have our oil brand sorted out!

Porsche specs a 40 wght oil for this engine, not 10W-30. If it were me, I would change it now.
