The stuck plug was on one my Audi differential and was surprised as its been out before= bought new plug and used anti=seize. Luckily with my 996t everything comes loose easily.

 

Glad to see this, I can report zero as well, 5k under my watch . . . KH

 

for the next oil drain, ill try to drain the tanks again, btw, do you think if its ok to use PB Blaster and spray directly on screws. leave it, soaking overnight.?

 

The spray will usually help and letting it soak in for a couple days doesn't hurt. Now we will have the spray lube debate lol.

 

Its not simply a matter of spraying the lube! Careful consideration needs to be given with respect to the precise delivery methodology used to apply said lube.


With or without the red tube?

 

yes, yes. which spray should we use....wd40 or pbblaster

 

I like Pb but just bought some crc freeze off to give it a try, kroil (spelling?)is top notch also.

 

Freshly rebuilt X50 from Porsche with 1200 break-in miles.
At 1200 it's within a 100 or two of needing it's 3rd qt since new motor fire-up.
Yep, we have issues and are in the process of figuring it out.

 

What type of break in did you do? Gently break ins often do more harm than good because the piston rings may not get properly seated resulting in high oil consumption. Every engine I've had built has gone straight to the dyno run at max boost to redline and then straight to the track. They hardly ever burn oil.

 

Thanks.....however, too late for me now.
I kept it under 4500 for the 1200......unfortunately that was the way I was brought up .

 

7 years since my previous post in this thread the good news: same oil consumption of M1 5/50.

1 qt per 1k miles.

 

Sounds acceptable. I'm convinced those that claim extremely little to none, never check their oil. Hell, my old ladies Boxster and the Subaru I bought new use oil too. I think it's a Boxer thing. All my P cars consumed, TT or NA.

 

funny you should mention that. I once would check the oil randomly but frequently using the stalk at red stoplights and would race against the measurement or the stoplight going green.

more "wins" when it takes "5" seconds than when it said measurement in 10 seconds+ or car must be "stationary and level".

I'm glad I've outgrown that. was s stupid game ha

still don't drain the turbos however
