Crush ring and Castrol

"you know more than the Porsche engineers! That's awesome!!"

Unfortunately, the Porsche engineers had to work with what the accountants and marketing dept gave them...which is why we have d-chunk engines, weak IMS bearings, weak cam tensioners, broken cheap plastic pieces and on and on and on.

I don't question folks like JFP, Jake and Charles because they represent "real world" not factory hype. Porsche wouldn't even admit the problems with the M96 engine design; do you think they care about the oil they recommend other than who's paying them the big marketing dollars? I remember when all my Porsches came with Shell stickers as factory fill.

I use Castol Syntec 10W40 and recently paid $4.99 qt at AutoZone...I wouldn't put Mobil 1 0W40 in my lawn tractor.
