These are great cars and are probably the best value for a real sports car.

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.

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

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've owned my 2000 C2 for almost a year and a half. I just finished my first year between oil changes and sent a sample to Blackstone for analysis. When I first bought the car I had a DOF IMS bearing installed, replaced the water pump, low temp thermostat, coil packs and plugs. I put 3400 miles on the car in the last year and had a nice trip up to the finger lakes in New York last summer. I have an '02 996tt coupe as well but for nice summer days I'd rather drive the Cab. These are great cars and are probably the best value for a real sports car. Here is the oil report and a pic of the car.

POST 4Original post

My 2000 C2 cab is the same color, but I have a Savannah interior. I like the grey better.

POST 5Original post

This is summer number 5 for me with a 2000 C2 cab been a great summer car - so many top down days great car for sure

POST 9Original post

What oil are you using? I get similar silicon values with DT40. They worried me at first because I felt like they were on the higher end of normal, but I’ve been suspecting that it’s simply the nature of that oil.

POST 10Original post

I'm running DT40, and my silicone was 9 after 3947 miles on the oil. I'm not sure what the previous owner was running, but my first report silicone was 10 after 2592 miles on the unknown oil. Receipt provided by the previous owner just showed that he got a filter and oil change. No brand or weight was recorded.

POST 11Original post

Good to know. My silicon seems to run between 9 and 11 with DT40.

Check out post #18 on this thread. Nice Greens by the way.

Thanks for the link. I'd say the DT40 is still the reason. My aluminum has been 4 or less and trending down but the silicons have been "elevated" but steady ever since I switched to DT40.

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