This is a great place to start your education:

Difference between you and me is simple...I enjoy maintaining my Porsche and that comes from working in my fathers Auto Machine Shop where I built cars from the ground up. Porsche is no different from any other auto...it has engine that runs on gas. Trouble shooting any auto is usually the hardest part of a fix. There is no excuse for being ignorant. Mike has a good info site and sometimes people get really scared at all the hype of maintenance and the IMS bearing. I just don't worry about it, period.
