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.
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.
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.
You say the DI40 oil is the equivalent for C40. On the website it states "This engine oil will NOT MEET any current API or OEM Engine Oil Specifications. This is because we use additional levels of ZDDP, Moly and higher performing base oils and viscosity index improvers than are used in typical formulations." So to me that means it would void a warranty if run in the motor. Could you clarify?
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%+.
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.
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
"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).
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.
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.
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.
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 ...
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.
Not really. Starting it during cold winter storage without fully warming up the engine on a 10+ mile drive only generates condensation. Speaking from experience after taking the oil pan off after 7 years of storage and looking at the internals. Everything was perfect. If you want to do anything, disable fuel and ignition and turn the motor over till you see oil pressure and removing the spark plugs helps, plus you get to spray the cylinder internals. By the way, after 7 years of storage, it started up as if it had run the day before (fresh gas of course as the tank was drained upon storage).
Shell 93 is the best, towards the end he states it, my X5 I’ve been issuing it, took a scope to the cylinder walls combined with redline oil… it’s brand new after 200k miles
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.
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.
I did not hear them badmouth Blackstone, just that they use a different method to analyze oil. I use Blackstone and the important thing to do is trend analysis. I agree with what they said about fuel additives with PEA in them. It was Chevron Chemical Company that formulated PEA many years ago and the Chevron Techron was the first fuel additive to use PEA. I can remember when BMW only recommended using Chevron Techron as a fuel additive. There are many additives that now use PEA and a lot of them state it on the label. I have been using the Chevron Techron for the past 20 years and see no benefit of switching away from it.
@@johnnypipe They basically said BlackStone's comments were not worth reading, and gave an example of car that had bore scoring to which Blackstone said the car just needed a filter...which I find very hard to believe. The video should have had a disclaimer "this includes a paid advertisement"
I am disappointed because it makes no sense to an average Porsche owner like myself - their oils, their oil change interval contradicts what Porsche recommends for my car. So there should be some disclosure, clarification in the beginning, say this is for the racing crowd, hard core crowd, or old cars, or whatever else. Waste of time for me.
Take-aways from this teaching: #1. Never use "Seafood products” or Marvel mystery oil in Fuel or engine Oil, Ever! #2. Never add ANY Oil additives to your oil, get an Oil that has what you need!!! #3. Fuel additives are good If they possess PEA -Polyertheramine in its formulae. #4. A dryer filter in Fuel line (like what's available in Diesel trucks upgrade) helps separate water grains from it, so engine doesn’t inject water into fuel combustion cycle. #5. Absolutely use injector cleaner to Keep the fuel-Mist proper and dispense holes Clean! #6. Keep oil brand same, switching ruins formulae protection building by-brand. #7. Lake uses DT40 and says the extra cost is worth it to him, Can’t ask for more better advice. Use >Di40< oil!!!

Great info from the best in the biz. Many thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks for posting! Always learn a little bit more every time I hear Lake speak, awesome!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Absolutely killer content... and I have 3 water cooled cars and an air cooled.
Thanks for watching!

So to me that means it would void a warranty if run in the motor. Could you clarify?
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?
yes
Awesome information!
Glad you think so!
I just ordered some DI40 for my 997.2, and I'm going to start using top tier gas in her as well.

Does using a magnet on your drain plug or oil filter hide iron wear when viewing an oil analysis?
No, the magnet will pick up larger particles and the oil analysis can only see particles up to ~ 10 micron

Thanks for the info! We really appreciate it.
Considering that the average car on the Autobahn cruises at 100 MPH and often far more.
Yep I have been using it for years mobile one don’t forget the FS

Can you add the fuel additive to newer Porsche post 2000? Any benefit to it?
Yes, running a fuel additive with PEA will help keep your injectors clean.
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.

There are so many youtube ads in this it's hard to watch.
I like videos that do not push a money making agenda.
Pay for a youtube subscription & no more ads, you shouldn’t expect quality content for free

For my 2019 mercedes g63 should i use shell 93 or chevron 94 im lost
Shell 93 is the best, towards the end he states it, my X5 I’ve been issuing it, took a scope to the cylinder walls combined with redline oil… it’s brand new after 200k miles
I recommend rebuilding the engine and replacing all fluids after every track day.
It's disturbing that detergent is added, washing detergent wtf

Ethanol sucks.

Yeah, @groach45 is complaining about a non issue.

@Olasek if you aren't hardcore, you're driving the wrong brand of car.
