I'm always a little shocked when I hear some of my Pcar friends talk about oil change intervals.
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.

Good stuff
No.5 - what is this - "Most kits will also include updated 997 oil return tubes to get oil back to the pan as quick as possible." - that's a new one on me.
I'm always a little shocked when I hear some of my Pcar friends talk about oil change intervals.
"I just had the oil done about 3k miles ago so it should last me a few more months."
When was that?
"Last July."
What.
He means 997 pick up tubes. They are a better design than the 996 version. Nothing earth shattering .Obviously they are extended also.See the photos of "Technosump" for more.

Yes i searched pics after to see what they meant. I see 2 long black tubes in the pic but had not seen them installed in pics.
It's for the return to the sump, so wondered what made them better - longer - larger diameter etc.
Thx.
Maybe, if you reject the notion that 0w-40 is meant for colder climates, which imply running in cold temps. Which implies a rejection of cold wx scoring as posited by JR in the general theory of m96 reliability
