I would go with this. My 91RS will have seen its 30th track day before year end. Just about to see 10k miles. The results from a recent Oil analysis indicate all clear.

I wonder how many miles the current gt3 could get on average with very limited track days and normal but spirited driving. If it's less than 150k I'd be highly disappointed.

Good for Glenn. Hope he makes it well beyond 100k.

Even though DLC isn't directly measurable currently, oil analysis for my engine did show higher than average aluminum and iron indicating high wear. That was true at 5000 miles but that is often the case for new engines and after the first error occurred at 10k. I think more frequent routine sampling would show wear before the error and significant damage happens.
In my case, I just got approval for an engine replacement and the order went in for one from Germany today. Hopefully will get here soon and I start the break in.

I checked with my dealer and spark plugs for the 991 RS are still at 4 Years/40000 km's intervall here.
Is the 12 months/10000km just for the 991GT3 you think?

I think your techs information is out of date.
For RS I have every 24 months.
For 991 GT3 I was given the update below at the beginning of the year with my new G engine. I would suggest anyone using either a MA1.75 or 76 engine on the track to replace plugs every 12 months. Thats RS + GT3. Apparently high revving DFI engines like these are very reliant on accurate ignition.
Not sure why "B Markets" might differ from any others. Maybe climate? But New Zealand isnt particularly hot, cold or humid?
P.S. Apologies it was 20k km and 12 months not 10km and 12 months but I think we must agree the 12 months was the key part...
