Haha, I hate drive-by-wire, too! And I hate the idea of solely electronic monitoring of oil level as mine is quite finicky as it is.

Regarding the factory-suggested oil change interval, I will continue to do 15k oil changes on my car. Porsche does not stand to benefit from hundreds of thousands of engine failures, so they would not come up with a policy that wasn't beneficial. Besides, they're one of MANY companies who is extending oil change intervals.

Additionally, synthetic does not break down like oil did in the past. I have heard stories of experiments where cars were run 200k miles with no oil change, and the synthetic was tested afterward, demonstrating NO thermal breakdown or reduced lubricating capacity. Not to mention it was as clean as new.
