I think when you begin to own a porsche, you tend to be dumb-down w/ the basic tasks because you want to make sure that it's done right.

I tried a synthetic in the '73 911 aircooled...leaked like mad. Put good 'ol dino juice back in and the leaks were resolved. I wouldn't run anything other than a good synthetic in the Box.
