When switched back to the factory lube, the problems disappeared. So while the lube may cost a bit more, it does work.
I bought the Porsche oil based on the posts read here - many from you on the virtues of the special OEM oil. Really was wondering what would cost $15 for 3 liters. Looked, but did not find the LN part at Sunset. Thanks for your input - I've learned a lot here in the past two years from many.
