Again - it's all opinion. What I hate about this board is too many people like you stating their opiniion as though it's fact. I's amazing that someone ask's a question and you answer the question (The oil is the problem) like your a Petroleum engineer. Are you?

As a matter fact, I am an engineer, I have been a life long member of the SAE, and spent the early part of my corporate career involved R&D on lubricants and lube additives..........not that it much matters. You continue to say “my opinion”; which is not correct. My statements are based upon over 35 years of owning, building and racing various Porsche’s, a database that reflects over a decade of collected new and used lubricant performance analysis, and a lot of years professionally repairing and maintaining client’s street and race Porsches. I am also a contributor to multiple websites where the relative merits of various oil’s and gear oil’s performance and technical characteristics are regularly discussed. So, no, it is not just my “opinion”……………..

I was with you right up until the word "websites", gilding the lilly on that one.

Not really, that point is easily enough confirmed……….

If you can hang on "Bob is the Oil Guy" then it might not be gilding the lily.

I am a long time BITOG member, as well as multiple specific vehicle brand sites that have lubricant forum sections.

Instead of saying "The oil is the problem" the post should have stated "try changing to a different brand of oil - that may help".

Instead of supporting such postings as JFP who does not understand facts versus opinions you are doing a disservice to all that try and use this board. But that is my opinion - it is not a FACT.

Point is, Jake was, in fact, correct; even if you put a fresh load the same brand of oil back in, and the problem even temporarily goes away, it was the oil. Changing to another brand could offer a more permanent fix, but only if it is a better quality product than the first one.

Your continuing intransigence on this subject is a “poster child” example of why those of us that actually posses both the data and experience on the subject often decide to not waste our time by participate in oil related discussions.

So, continue to rant away, getting your knickers in a twist while you are at it; I’m done on the subject. Some want to learn, some just want to argue without any basis in fact……………

Please - I implore you to quit "wasting your time". I don't think you help anyone on this board with responses like yours.

Actually, I will continue to offer my help and experience to others on this and other boards that want to learn. You, sir, are on your own………………

I used to think it was often challenging to distinguish credible training advice from false advice - not anymore.
