Thanks, Charles. I appreciate all the effort you and Jake have put forth and show it by purchasing your products. Let the sceptics be sceptics; like I really trust what the factory did to butcher these engines, when for minimal dollars, they could have produced them correctly.

Keep up the great work and we'll keep reading and upgrading.

Thank you Charles. Running higher oil temps to eliminate water and then offering long oil drain intervals as a marketing tool is the best explanation I have heard yet for Porsche running 180 T-Stats. Thanks to your research we know this was misguided. Running lower engine temps and changing oil more often has two benefits: The motor runs better and lasts longer. Makes sense to me.
