I'm sending in a sample for analysis including a TBN study.

I will post the results when available.
The results are in. As I've said before driving a Porsche harder than most doesn't seem to hurt it. I've been flooring and shifting near redline every Porsche I've owned since 1974 without an engine failure. I take my cars on 5000 mile 3 week vacations.

So much for Porsche not knowing anything, the recommendation below is to change my oil even later!
