Guys do you hear the Horse calling from the grave "STOP BEATING ME" the main issue is that the Porsche service interval was 15K . If you track you car change the oil. once a year or every 5K change the oil. examine the filter see the you tube Vid. no metal no IMS issue. skip ahead to around 6:45. These cars are fine and have been on the road forever.Bottom line the 15K service is way to long for the filter and the oil.
