Lost my engine- another one gone.

I agree. Seems highly implausible that an oil level half way up the gauge in the safe zone is going to kill an engine in the course of street driving.

If you read his post he was in a tight turn accelerating with low engine oil. That could have done it.

And it was poorly maintained, burning oil, and his "solution" was to routinely top off the oil level before spirited drives with a non Porsche approved oil viscosity, hoping the 10W40 would leak out a little slower than a 0W40, 5W40 or a 5W50. He admits it, owns it, and we respect that. Live & learn.
