Anyone else have over 150k on your 986?
The reason that I purchased such a high mileage 986 was the previous owner was a Porsche mechanic. Many of the common issues have already been repaired.....and fingers crossed I can keep up with future maintenance...

What did you end up going with?
I have 128K miles on my car, always used M1 0W-40, except one time I used either M1 5W-30 or 10W-30 and got horrible engine clatter at start up. By the end of the week I had drained the oil and put 0W-40 back in it. I'll not play with the oil viscosity again since the engine has done fine with M1 0W-40, so why mess with good results.
As for the oil filter, I use the K&N PS-7011 Pro-Series Oil Filter, usually off eBay or Amazon and bought a bunch of crush rings, I think it was 20 from Pelican when I was ordering some other stuff that got me free shipping.
