Based on the fire damage, it seems to me that the problem was triggered when you forgot that the engine was in the back and poured all that oil in the frunk

Another good link on oils that answered my original question grounded in science, plus I didn't get called a troll.

I blend all available synthetics ever talked about online into one product. Then I'm always using the best oil. Problem solved.

If you mix coolant in At a 1-10 ratio coolant to oil, you can maintain a 10 degree cooler engine temp.

Is there any difference between the OEM Porsche oil filter and aftermarket one's? Just to open that can of worms

Yes there is. The Porsche Oil Filter, filters oil down to 0.1 microns where the after market brands filter to only 0.5 microns. This filtration affects the viscosity of the oil in your engine and can increase thermal break down of the pistons. Typically, this wear is seen with engines as they pass 500,000 miles. You can mitigate this by adding Unicorn Semen to a multi blend of oil. Typically this blend is 20/40/50. Yes, that's 110% of Mobile 1, Joe Gibbs and Motul. So, to make things simpler, buy the Porsche brand filter if you intend to drive more than 500,000 miles.
