We do not go by Porsche's service recommendations. Where a severe service interval is not specified, we typically will cut the service interval in half, time or mileage, whichever comes first.

Yep, and nowhere in the service/maintenence does the factory suggest a water pump interval.

Ah, and yes, Porsche never even had a part number for the IMS bearing, suggesting it was a "lifetime" part, kind of like those "lifetime fluids" that we never have to change :-)

The modern Porsche was designed for the leasing market. Little to no maintenance during the lease or even during the warranty period. When the warranty is up, you're supposed to trade it in on a new one, right? :-)

Charles, if you don’t mind. If you were in my situation with a 2012 MA121C engine(320HP) with 79K and 12 months worth of CPO warranty remaining. Would you be inclined to have the bottoms of the bores inspected to rule out scoring, even though there are no telltale signs in current operation. I have only 1 UOA which showed low viscosity for low miles M1 0w-40. Thank you in advance for your input..

Depending on how many miles you drive, I'd cut your oil change interval down maybe even to 3 months (as long as you have at least 1000 miles on the oil) and have it resampled to see if the aluminum, iron, and silicon levels are trending the same.

I certainly would. I recommend to everyone with CPO cars to have an independent go through the car as if you were having a PPI done so that you can have Porsche fix anything that might be under warranty.

Perfect, thank you for the reply. I’m probably right at 3 months and 1000 miles and maybe I’ll do another change and sample( currently on Fuchs 0w-40) which I don’t imagine is any better than the M1. At that time I can have them drop the pan/plate and scope from the bottom and refill with Driven oil..
