I've seen reports with late '05' builds (April/May/June) had the larger bearing/bearing shaft. As others have said, you won't know for sure unless you drop the tranny and look.

As a former 987 owner, I think this design is way more robust than the earlier version and you should expect significantly longer life if you drive the car at least 5-6K miles /year, go through the...

The 987.1 motors--from what I've seen and heard--have lifter issues; clatter from deflated lifters does happen and from mechanics I've spoken to is the result of...

The biggest difference I could determine in the short drives was the amount of torque available--about 30% more in the S. You also get bigger brakes and 19" rims.

I don't suppose they saved enough oil to do an analysis, did they?
I'd suggest running the durametric camshaft deviation test to see if and how much out of spec they are.

I can't imagine somebody living in AZ would need a 0W oil in Phoenix, since low temps rarely get into the 20's.
