These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good thread here if you haven't seen it before - all 24 pages.....[ ] http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=75433&mpage=1&key=

POST 3Original post

About to service car 3.4 c2, just wondered which engine oil you would recommend??

POST 4Original post

Hi Richard, would you recommend adding an oil additive?? Just ben reading about AMTECH additive, what are your thoughts on adding this product? regards Baz

POST 5Original post

I have never used oil additives, so can't really comment. My thinking is that a decent oil should already contain everything it needs to look after a healthy engine. I would suggest making a post on the thread Alan (tscaptain) linked to. Simon and Guy at Opie are very knowledgeable, and will give you a straight answer.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
