When using an OBD II scanner to monitor coolant temps, you are seeing the actual sensor data being relayed to the DME, so the numbers are also pretty reliable, and have correlated well with aftermarket gauge setups in the same cars.

Very interesting information. You inadvertanly answered 2 sticky questions I was trying diplomatically compose. so moot now. At this quick moment I have, I can recall two comparatively softball questions.

1) As I understand from you and maybe others on this thread, Porsche concocted this whole charade so they could burn up more oil with the extra heat. I thought it was for emission issues but, if it blows out the pipe it's going to hurt not help in this arena(No?) is it blow-by?

Or, Could it be just to mitigate that early morning start-up cloud syndrome that some people have and freak out about? In which case, no matter for me, it would be long gone by the time you get to the smog station.

Tell me they did not do this to try to keep the outside the motor cleaner> avoid build up to...keep the motor running cool? (To ironic)

Thanks as always, gotta run...

Is blow by that going to become aprent or
