If I spray it on my right elbow, will it cool and lubricate the joint at the same time?

They are now using the cooling tank as a separate reservoir so then you have a sort of make shift dry sump system...

Suggestion · Original poster
The use of this new fluid, in conjunction with a small pump to transfer excess fluid from the oil pan to the coolant expansion tank will prove once and for all that the problem never really existed.

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.

RUMOR: After many years of denying any significant intermix problem with the M96 engines, Porsche may soon announce a final solution to the non-existent problem. Working in conjunction with Mobil Oil they will soon announce a new multi-purpose fluid that serves as either/both oil for lubrication and as a coolant in the cooling system. The use of this new fluid, in conjunction with a small pump to transfer excess fluid from the oil pan to the coolant expansion tank will prove once and for all that the problem never really existed.
Porsche may state �Who cares if the fluids intermix, they are all the same! The real problem is that owners have been using the wrong fluid all along!�
Can it be true?
I doubt that Mobil is involved. I'm sure its those whacky guys who make the blinker fluid. No matter what it will only be available from dealers at 15 bucks a quart.
This is early for April 1st so your going to hell for a pre-April 1st joke attempt. Sorry - hell is the default setting. Well unless your willing to take time served by driving a magic wagon for the rest of your life.
This is the perfect fix for the engines blowing up with oil starvation. They are now using the cooling tank as a separate reservoir so then you have a sort of make shift dry sump system... Brilliant.
Rumor has it that the new product will be trademarked
Coolubricant
. It'll also be available in a spray can for use on squeaky doors and cabinets, or for use as a non-stick cooking spray. Hell, it'll do
anything
.
You know, all kidding aside, wouldn't it just make sense to have a single fluid. They run at different temperatures and pressures, so they would still be separate systems, but if there ever WAS an intermix problem, at least it wouldn't be fatal, and cooling side corrosion would be eliminated as a bonus. HMMM, the heat transfer characteristics of oil are too low, so the radiators would have to be larger.... Veeeery interesting...but stupid?? Maybe not....
Oh boy. Now you did it. The 993 guys are gonna be here any moment now stating that their Older and Wiser Germans already had the one fluid solution. Oil. ;-)
I think the solution proposed has more to do with improving the lubrification properties of water. A dealer tech tells me it smells like Astroglide and said it was just another way for the dealer to slip it to customers
You know, I don't think you guys are taking my post seriously!!!!!!!!! With Porsche's engeering I am sure they could solve any non-existent problem they mght not have created.
