Death of an IMS caught on video

[Michiganstar]

Hi Jake,

You're more than welcome to use it. The engine has already been torn down and rebuilt and it was the bearing itself that failed and there was sludgy oil around the area despite bit having a FSH and an oil change less than 6k previously. I shall be doing far more frequent oil changes from now on.

Regards

Lee

and the inevitable question - how often were you performing oil changes?

The car has had all its oil changes as per Porsche's recommended service schedule so every 12k from new.
