I agree with most of the previous posts that you may be causing a problem to fix something that doesn't exist. Don't put stuff in there that doesn't belong. If you use ATF to flush out the oil then what will flush out the ATF???

Having said that, I do respect an anal Porsche owner so here is a suggestion give to me by a very respected Porsche expert:
Get the gas tank down to a 1/4 tank. Put in two bottles of Techron in the fuel tank (that's right, 2 into the fuel tank- this will give you a super concentrate). Drive it hard till you are down to between empty - 1/8 of a tank. Fill it up and drive it tilll it is down to about 1/2 tank. Fill it up again and do an oil change. Your oil will smell like Techron.

This will 1) clean injectors and valves, and, 2) "flush" oil passages with something that is Porsche approved (albeit in a greater quantity than suggested).

Be sure to do this only when you are ready to do an oil change. If you are nervous about the above, use just one bottle.
