Did the oil and filter change - filter is still super clean😎

While changing the oli, I did change also the Oil Pressure Relief Valve to the updated version from Porsche.

The short rattle at the start up is pretty much all gone now and can be heard only fraction of the time compared to the before the OPRV change. The updated part has different shape piston and slightly longer spring. This should help on keeping the oil pressure bit higher also on low rpm. Also I feel that the engine runs better and is a bit more responsive.
Old piston was slightly worn one side at the bottom skirt and also from top on same side. Parts cost was 25€, took addittional 10 minutes time to change while changing oil and what I can see from today's experience, it was money well spent 👌

On photos, first is the old OPRV, second is the new OPRV and lastly the filter cut open :dance:
