"Couldn't agree with this more, and for the same reason I have followed and will follow the 20K oil change/service interval. Other 987 owners follow the break-in but not the servicing recommendations, which makes me wonder why they selectively second-guess Porsche engineers."

The oil interval recommendation is SLIGHTLY different. There IS a reason for Porsche to be recommending longer intervals as that lowers the projected maintenance costs (cost to own) and makes them more competitive in the market. Since shorter intervals don't hurt, many owners decide to alleviate the risk from that slight "interest misalignment" by buying insurance (keeping shorter intervals). Nothing wrong with that.
