Slight increase in oil smoke and a bit more oil consumption than normal. Might have been from driving 2 wks straight w nice weather. Mobile One suggested compression test. Compression results: 1: 170, 4: 165; 2: 185, 5: 180; 3: 195, 6: 200. All within spec! Great results. results show better compression as you move from back to front of car. slight wall scoring on cylinder wall scoring and a little bit of oil on lowest compression (#4), but nothing on the piston seals or elsewhere that would indicate excessive oil burn there. Oil cooler on front passenger side was clogged w mud. removed, cleaned and reinstalled. should see change in oil temps now w that working properly. This was never an issue before.

Pulled intake manifolds off to find source of occasional rough starts. For 1 month or so, was taking 2 tries to get started. Could not repeat this issue at the shop. 6 hrs @ $95/hr to pull manifolds off and clean extensively. Likely reason there was evidence of oil leak was: when oil is overfilled, will get oil sucked into intake and then onto top of motor. car has never blown white smoke, so not an engine issue.

Replaced front differential washer that had caused a small leak. Replaced Freon Cap that was causing A/C system slow leak. recharged A/C. Mobile One 9/3/14 159700 Blackstone Labs oil test results. PAT: You noted that this oil might be 5W/30, but the viscosity was in the 10W/30 range, so your original guess was correct. A 5W/30 would probably work, but we'd guess Porsche specs the thicker stuff. Wear metals look good here and that's just what we had hoped for given the slightly shorter-than-average oil run. Universal averages show typical wear after ~3,800 miles oil use. The flashpoint was on target so no excess fuel dilution was getting into the oil. Insolubles were excellent, so the oil filter was working like it should. You’ve got a good thing going here. 4/24/15 162019 $25.56 $141.54 Oil change and filter. Brad Penn 20w50. New fuse - blower motor fuse blew. Minor crack. Will keep an eye on it. 4/28 first drive after install of fuse and blew again. Trying 30 amp fuse replacing 25 A, per Jason.
