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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just aquired the 911 with 26K miles. IMS bearing has been replaced. Lucas makes a heavy-duty oil treatment. Should i add ? thanks to all jeff

POST 2Original post

no need for any oil treatment. Next oil change send off a sample for a UOA (used oil analysis) to either Blackstone or Speediagnostics. I get a UOA with every oil change on both my 911s.

POST 3Original post

Not trying to be a pain, but if the IMS bearing was replaced, what was it replaced with? Did the previous owner give you the receipts? I've seen a number of 996 on bring a trailer that have a description that the IMS bearing was replaced, but rarely ever says what it was replaced with or why. Ideally you want it to have been replaced prophylactically and not because it failed. Agree with optionman1, no to the oil treatment.

POST 4Original post

Congrats on the car. Vote #3 for no oil additives. Fuel additives, yes. Oil additives, no. Motor oil is tremendously good these days, unlike fuel.

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