Greasy has helped me more than he can ever know with working towards keeping my inherited 77’ 911 on the road. No way can I replicate his quality of work lol, but at least his content helps me learn how to work on my car since I have zero mechanical background. I’d also doesn’t hurt that his content is pretty much ASMR or therapeutic for an aspiring gear head like myself. Like I said, my car is a 77’. My dad bought it in (about) 1982 in Germany while he lived there for a few years. When he moved back to the states in about 84’ he brought it back with him. He went on to build 3 different garage built race cars for SCCA and PCA racing and eventually got into the GT3 Cup Cars in the 996 generation. I took ownership of said 77’ 911 about 5 years ago when he passed. It had been parked in his “barn” for almost 30 years. I think by next spring I will have it sorted out enough to at least get it back on the road.
So how do you sell this stuff to a guy that has owned a 911SC (blow off valve in air box and later cam chain tensioners installed) for 22 years and run Castrol GTX 20W-50 exclusively? He's never had a mechanic recommend anything different? Heard others switched to synthetic but has never felt a need to switch to another oil? Cold start or otherwise?
