Granted, this time, because of misc work reasons, I went 300 miles over my usual.

My bad - I didn't read your post closely enough to do the math, I just read you let it go too long so figured it was *way* too long.. clearly that isn't the case.
I change mine every 10,000 kilometres...so 6,000 miles. I know all about Porsche's recommended service interval, and I'm sure that some people follow it, but figure those same people don't know an IMS from an RMS so they don't lose sleep.
You on the other hand....are clearly informed enough to be worried, but I think your car is fine.
I'd still use something better than Mobil 1 though. I know it was (is?) factory fill, but I'm guessing Mobil corp paid for that privilege. I've also heard that the retail bottles don't contain the good stuff, but who knows.
Not much to do but drive it hard and keep cutting filters open man.
