How To Keep Your Porsche Engine Running Right: Oils, Fuel, and Oil Analysis | Tech Tactics Live 

I've come back to this vid 3 times now. I actually don't own a Porsche, but I've been struggling to find an oil for my turbocharged Buick (2.0 LTG that loves to sheer every oil down a grade in the first 1k miles) and the information that Lake gives is absolutely fantastic. I plan to use a c40 oil on my next change.

This is the most informative video on oil and fuel that one can find and can be applied to every vehicle besides Porsche. Great job gentlemen! Thanks for sharing this precious information.

At last somebody is talking real stuff. Not those speculations and other nonsense that RU-vid is full of these days

Great video, thanks for posting! Always learn a little bit more every time I hear Lake speak, awesome!!

Absolutely killer content... and I have 3 water cooled cars and an air cooled.

Does using a magnet on your drain plug or oil filter hide iron wear when viewing an oil analysis?

On old Porsche 928s the thrust bearing failures were due to using thin oil so Porsche recommends 15w-50 or 20w-50 unless you live in extremely cold climates.

So is any correct grade API SP oil acceptible even if it doesn't have the C40, C30, A40 approval? Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum for example?

More ethanol rather than less is beneficial for performance. Maybe you should consider ways to adapt to increased ethanol instead of trying to combat it.

Lake and Charles, привет вам от Смирнова😂

very nice tech videos good job guys - porsche boxster excellent and change oil filter slightly before service dates // if going away leave for couple of days after checking with dealer for security // I always aimed for safety comfort over speed but if you really like track days - // 30 guys 30 shares in a track specific car - clear agreement as to what days it can be used etc - I used to live near a track in UK kent // never raced mine liked to visit to watch cars and bikes // if I had family would have been fun day out once a month and if looked after a good investment - some cars go up in value if raced and correctly maintained GT series - if you keep all history invoices photos etc // wrap graphics a local company sponsor // some tracks in UK even now have secure lots for amateurs race cars // dust cover security guards etc // expensive until you join as a group have a clear contract and get ten good local sponsors who pay per year // still expensive hobby but - more within reach ...

I would run Royal Purple.

The Einstein of the chemistry that goes into oils, fuels, and fuel additives everyone else is just a dummy. I'm sure there are others that are good too, but this guy is sharing with this dummy. Thanks Lake Speed.

I use exxon fuel, I use amsoil and chevron injection cleaner change oiil each year or 3000 miles.KEEP IT CLEAN AND DRIVE WEEKLY.just like the hammers of hell.

So many contradictory opinions on the storage issue. The other school of thought is by not running your engine every two to three weeks the internals become dripped dry and then there’s excess wear upon start up.

Great info from the best in the biz. Many thanks!

Great video! Love hearing smart people talk.

It's disturbing that detergent is added, washing detergent wtf

"Mobil 1 FS Euro 0w40" is an A40 (ACEA A3/B4) fully-approved oil, and is also API SP (SP provides the anti-LSPI we want, and a nice chain-wear test too BTW), and it has moly in it. Most other A40 oils don't use moly at all, as these guys say, and they probably aren't anti-LSPI, but this particular kind of Mobil1 0w40 has what Alusil-cylinder Porsches want. Look for "A40" printed on the back of the bottle or jug, and "SP" too, in 0w40 here. Although, the amount of moly could use a slight boost on Porsche Alusil cylinder engines, so I would put about a half-dose concentration of Liquimoly CERATEC in it to increase the moly level slightly to combat bore scoring. This flavor of Mobil 1 0w40 also has a bunch of other German-engine approvals, so it has been tested A LOT ! Mobil & Infineum know what they are doing here. And it is easy to get (Amazon, Walmart, most autoparts stores carry it).

Great information i wonder how many times i switched oils cause on sale and waht damage i did had no idea....... just Bought a 2013 cayanne with the audi 3.0 tdi disel engine and 200k plus miles . what oil is recomended living in the montain west? Its winter like 8 months of the year thanks

3:19 not totally true. Sure if it was stored in a high humidity environment with salt fog, sure. I bought my 2015 991.1 GTS from the original owner in 2018, 3 years 1 month after he took delivery at the Porsche dealer and it had 98 miles on it. A great find since where was I going to get a Normally Aspirated 991 with a 7-speed manual when only 991.2s were available new. Did my checks personally and now more than 5 years of owning it, it has been flawless. And the best part was I got to break in the engine instead of some clown going WOT on a cold engine. High mileage is like runway behind you, totally useless, I'd know.

Hello, lot of premium fuels are marked e10 but they have no more than 0,01% ethanol, they are using ETBE instead which allows them claim e10 by the law norm. But it is top premium fuels other fuels can contained ethanol around 5%+.

So how to fix a fuel dilution? What if fuel dilution percentage get high pretty fast? What are the measures that need to be taken?

Thanks Mr. Speed. Just did the oil changes from the car, truck and van that was changed almost 8 weeks ago with the FR3. I have a few used VOA's in the past and collected the new ones to compare the usage and on how did the add pack are lowered vs. non-oil additive. Cheers.

There are so many youtube ads in this it's hard to watch.

I recommend rebuilding the engine and replacing all fluids after every track day.

Can you add the fuel additive to newer Porsche post 2000? Any benefit to it?

Awesome information!

For my 2019 mercedes g63 should i use shell 93 or chevron 94 im lost

I am disappointed PCA gives this open platform for these guys to promote their brand oil and their oil analyses…and let them talk negatively of their competitors like BlackStone.
