I have an T IV engine that has sat in my garage fully assembled for seven years. I would like to know if I should replace all galley plugs prior to installing and using it. The cautious part of me says yes, the other part says I shouldn't have to. What do you guys say?

I remember reading, sometime in the recent past, an article on the changing composition of new lubricating oils and the older 911/914 oil cooled engines requiring certain percentages of zinc and phosphate additives that are no longer part of the mix.
I remember the article listing oils that contain at least 12%. Does anyone remember in what publication that article appeared?
