I recently had the Oil optimisation ECU update done on my late 15 F build car.
Do you think Porsche will allow us to upgrade these components to match that of the G engines: "The new G series GT3 engine is based on the GT3RS engine with a different oil filter, larger filter neck and updated oil pump and software flash which increases mid range oil pressure. "

How does one check to see which engine they have? I assume it is stamped somewhere??

As a side note I went to a special event for Job's racing Heart of Seattle team. I spoke with the guys about the new engine and they are very satisfied with it and the car. One of the drivers told me that Porsche stops by and flashes the cars frequently. Looks like Porsche Motorsports is really staying on top of the new car and engine. As of the other day they turned the fastest time so far, now mind you nobody is really showing their hand so no weight restrictions are added to the cars. We shall see in a few days how Daytona works out.
Great insight Macca.

Guys, I'm travelling internationally but had the misfortune to experience the issue and remedies first hand last week. I'll update everyone when I can by way if a seperate thread when I have time.
It's my opinion you can not make the E series engine as robust as the G as there are internal oiling changes...

Interestingly, when I took my MY16 RS for the service update, they changed the plugs and flashed the ECU but did not change the oil filter. However, a few weeks later, before putting her to sleep for the winter months, I took her in for a post break-in oil change and it took a week because they needed to order a new type of oil filter, something they didn't have in stock.
It might be speculation but it sounds like they have changed something because they would have had the standard (old?) GT3 filters. They did anyway when I changed the oil in the 3.

My vin and sticker in the engine hood show an F. I have an early build MY15 ( October '14). Anybody knows when the switch over to F happened? After the Stop sale? Or with the change in model year?

I also have an early '15 (Nov 14 delivery). F in the VIN. If truly a design issue, then the increase mid range oil pressure is just a band aid. Porsche should just replace with the new design. At least an extended warranty would be nice.

^^JUST in time
same for me "F", my build completed last week Of October/14 left the factory on my Birthday
How bout that B-day present !
Guys think there's any merit or relevance to sequence E, F, G, ?
(My engine as I suspect many here was not on the TSB list for flash for oil / plug update .)

Macca, forgive me for my lack of knowledge on this topic but you talk about the E and G engine, when it's clear there are F engines out there. Any info on the F engines regarding this issue?

sorry to here of " experience " is your motor an " E " s/n #
I recently did a second oil sample where I was under the car (Not Dealer) when pulled sample
only 250 miles on it, report clean , plan for another sample after 3 track days coming up.
the material you speak of, not sure would show in analysis , thoughts ?

Thanks Macca for that insight.
In Porsche VINs, the 10th position letter gives the model year:
2014 = E
2015 = F
2016 = G
From what I'm reading here, it sounds like at least the MY2016 cars may have had some engine changes made, but does anyone know if that change took effect with a particular model year? Or could it have occurred part way through a model year?
I'm also an "F".
