Today, the climate control replacement LCD kit arrives. Basically a 60,000 mile service with "extras"
Read several posts and articles stating that K&N oil can foul MAF and other Sensors.
After reading all the info available online about K and N and Porsches, I decided to stick with Porsche recommendations/OEM. I agree with those who have concluded that the cost of sensors and other potential damage outweigh the potential minor boost in hp.

Respectfully,
Mitchell
