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.

Worked for me......I think it worked for all of us.
About a year ago to the day, and 5k miles ago, I changed my oil and filter . So today seemed like a good time to put in some fresh(and on sale) Mobil 1 synthetic oil, and a new magnetic drain plug(from Pelican) and sealing ring, along with a new Mann filter kit. After a long drain
I torqued in the new plug, slipped on a new rubber o-ring for the plastic OEM filter housing and added a little over 8 Quarts of Mobil 1. Was surprised to find a little 'gunk' sitting below the oil fill cap, first time. I've seen it in my Porsche. Shorter drives=moisture in engine= gunk.
Cut open my old filter and examined the filter material for any pieces of metal or plastic, and found only a few shiny particles, but I was surprised there weren't more particles present. Looks like a small oil weep on the passenger side, very back of engine. I'm guessing a spark plug tube, which I'm planning to do all of them in a couple of weeks. Wiped the area clean so I can better gauge the extent of the oil weep.
Just wanted to mention how happy I am EVERY time I drive my 14 year old Porsche that has been totally reliable during my almost 6 year ownership. This is the longest I have owned a Porsche, and this is my third. If you are on the fence, unable to decide if you should buy/own a Porsche 996 (3.4 MY99),then go out and drive some, you won't be sorry.
Good posting Steve but not as nice as Sneaky Petes posting hehe/.. I have a 99 job and due for oil and filter change soon. Will be checking same as you have done. Done 10k in it since last April. No problem runs like a dream. Bags of power when needed.
Nice post from both Steve and Pete!
Mine is also a '99, about 800 miles short of 100K. It's been a great, extremely reliable vehicle and after almost six years still makes me grin!
Looking forward to the next 100K!
If it is a networked PC chances are all your LT has to do is go to his/her desk computer and call up browsing history from your computer.
Generally, I work on the assumption when from a work computer my manager can see and read everything I see and read and type.
I love my job more than life itself and welcome this monitoring by my most wonderful manager overlord.
Sincerely,
Macster.
Wow!
Steve, nice job!
Pete, a few more of those pics and there might be a bit of "gunk" on my computer.......(lol).
Happy Holidays all, Happy B-day to those RLer's.......be safe, have fun, everything in moderation, including moderation... and take a please take a momment out of your fun to remember why we are able to enjoy this time off.
Let the frivolities begin...fire up the grills and gentlemen start your engines!
