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.
