Boxslrr, I agree that the recommended oil change frequency and inspection of the oil and filter are consistent with being a responsible owner. However, we must remember:

1. the relatively low failure rates disclosed in production for the class-action suit, were regardless of oil change intervals. It seems that all agree that for frequent oil changes not only increases the chance of diagnosis before failure, but reduces the risk of failure.
2. Porsche's factory recommended oil change interval was about twice as long!

As the owner of a dual-row beaing engine with annual oil changes every 4-5,000 miles, I have decided to wait until my clutch needs replacement. In the interim, I will attempt to keep up to date on the various solutions being offered before making my choice/s.
