"My point all along is that it is better than leaving it sit, flooring it when cold, and shifting at low rpms. My way works or I am the luckiest Porsche owner of all time."

I certainly never suggested that THESE practices were wise. Nor would I worship any car. I was simply taking issue with the "driving it hard is better than driving it moderately" school of thought.

As I said before, drive it like you stole it.if you so choose. Simply don't believe you can cheat the laws of physics. Stress kills engines!

Also, you CAN change your oil too frequently, but 7500 miles is NOT too frequent if one looks at the used engine analysis that are available. Depending on the oil, some are shot by then.

M1 is usually gone by 11-12K. Red Line will usually make it to 15K but then, why risk it with your $15K engine?
