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.

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

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Below is an interesting link. It was on a PCA.org Technical Q & A. Someone asked about M1 0w-40 changing it�s formulation to SM which isn�t good for our cars. Anyone know if in fact the formulation has changed and if so why? Is this bad? http://www.lnengineering.com/oil.html

POST 2Original post

From what I have read, this is a problem for the air-cooled cars but should not affect ours. There has been a lot of discussion about this on the air-cooled boards.

POST 3Original post

For that reason the Ferrari owners have stayed away from Mobil 1

POST 4Original post

So is it bad that I've been refilling with Penzoil regular oil?

POST 10Original post

Well, had me going there for a minute. Only because it was coming from Ben! I think Ben is so whacked that he would do something like that. LOL!
