I have an '06 Boxster S. I change oil every 2-3K with Motul 8100 X-cess 5w40, cut my filter open for inspection, and have an oil analysis done every oil change.

Everything has been fine but I don't think the paranoia will ever go away until I sell the vehicle. I'm totally disgusted with Porsche and refuse to overlook this problem as simply "all cars have their problems". How many cars trash their engines at the alleged 5% rate that cost $15- $20K to repair?

In fact, we both have the third iteration of the IMS bearing that requires a complete tear down to repair. Not just a "simple" bearing replacement at maybe
$3K.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.... we now have a class action suit to back up our paranoia. Interesting that the suit only covers up to 2005. The class action attorneys maybe want to save something for the future!
