Don't worry Marc. George G organizes the Boxster Brunch up at Alice's Restaurant on Skyline, a good friend, long time PCA member and Boxster lover. We all love your stories of longevity!
I have gone from 15k to 7.5k and now to a 5k oil change frequency. My Box is hitting 105k next month, so I'm trying to determine the best viscosity. This will be a pre-winter change would you still consider 15-50, or stick with 0-40?

When I was shopping for my 1st or subsequent Porsche if I thought I was considering a car that that required me to sit down with 2 chemists at a trade show, then buttonhole a tire expert, a brake expert, and fuel expert, a suspension expert, a mechanical engineer, a bearing engineer, and so on to assemble a hodge-podge of recommendations then I would have avoided the car.
