The PO has put synthetic in the case of My Type IV since he got it.
The motor drips a little. Is synthetic to thin? Should I keep going synthetic? |

I live by Royal Purple 20/50 full synthetic.
I have went up to 18K miles and never changed it in my 912E... Its used it since its conception in 2002- 84K miles ago.... Since the engine in that car is nearing its 100K teardown and soup up I have decided NOT to change the oil any more until the engine dies.... Thats how much I believe in it based on prior experiences and my own test results. I have been gathering oils from various Mfr's for a "Re-do" of my oil tests that I did in 2002, but much more extensive now that I have the datalogger. |
