I've seen many debates on the topic, but have not seen any confirmed information of significant volumes of failures for the new style. Welcome and enjoy!
I would agree with this advice and add changing your oil and filter at 5000 miles. Cut the filter open and send the used oil off to Blackstone Labs for an analysis. Install a magnetic drain plug to pick up any debris. You can also get the IMS Guardian for more piece of mind. Then drive it like you stole it! The islands would be an incredible place for a Boxster!
