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.

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

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Which one really depends on whether you add an aftermarket turbo kit or not.

You need oil in these cars? sheeeit....I did not know that....learn something new every day!

POST 13Original post

Just so we get this out of the way Newbie: RMS's leak IMS's fail Sunspots cause radio disturbances And the country is screwed Blah....blah...blah

POST 15Original post

Satira Ylang Ylang oil, manufactured by Palida Co. Available in finer Bangkok massage parlors. Topped off properly, it is guaranteed to prevent intermediate shaft failure, although it has been implicated in several RMS leaks.

Welcome to the forum.... say.... you look familiar. Back to topic, I use white grease in the Summer, KY Jelly SAE 6W69 in the Winter. PS for a newbie with 19 posts, you got to post more pics!

POST 19Original post

I find the BEST is to use WD40 as it is the wettest around and as thin as water to get into all the nooks and crannies.

POST 20Original post

Oil?? Don't worry about it - the car never needs any. I think it can even go 100K without an oil change. Welcome to the forum!!!!!!!

POST 21Original post

Think of it as rolling back the odometer Rob, it's like a whole new website now, with that new site smell!

POST 22Original post

I'm sorry My english (as usual) isn't good enough to understand yo I don't know the meaning of the word "oil" In Spain we have the best product to cook: olive oil do you mean this? http://www.aceites-sierracazorla.com...ewen/index.htm I don't know the viscosity, but you can taste it with a good salad. And have you tried to add Bourbon in the engine? I'm sure It will work fine

McDonalds has good oil, they offer it free with purchase..... just use what is left over on the paper thing the food comes in. You have to eat a lot to get 9 quarts, but hey its worth it!!! (PS call your cardiologist and make an appointment for angioplasty while your at it)

Thank you sir!! I hang out in Off Topic... my 04 996 C4S has been so rock solid (72,000 and counting) I don't really have anything to complain about. The lord giveth back. I never thought I would hear another man telling me my post is back up.

POST 28Original post

Your Porsche has lifetime oil, so don't worry about it. However the first mod most of us do is remove the tires from the rims and coat the inside of the tires with vaseline, remount and enjoy the ride!

Incredible post... When I saw the tittle thought "another oil thread !!!! !"

POST 33Original post

Okay Riad...first of all these Porsches are designed to leak oil from the moment they leave the factory. Secondly, we all know that every motor will grenade long before you'll need to change the oil. Third,I have been very happy using drained oil out of a 1945 John Deere tractor...but be sure it's the correct viscosity.

POST 34Original post

Quotes source post: 5977483

Barn, I hope you'd use this fantastic drained oil mixed with 30% sulphuric acid solution and 4 pounds of the best sugar. The engine will work till the end of the days and you'll never need to add petrol.
