Nope...Liqu-Moly 5W-40 Synthoil Premium (Full Synthetic). LM2040 is this oil in a 1L bottle; LM2041 is the same oil in a 5L bottle.

A well-known independent Porsche engine builder who's a member here recommended I use that oil (vs his prior recommendations) in my x96 motor he built for me 10 years ago--and which is still running as strong as ever according to my butt-dyno. Like Billy said, his recommendations could be specific to his engine builds.

After further review of the overall costs involved and several Flat-Six & LN videos and materials, I just ordered up a case of DT-40 5W40 & filter.

Paranoia is complete awareness. :roll:

Say what you may about Google Maps but this is some granular information!

The Red pin is where an airplane went down but the Gray pin is some useful information!! I know if my car was malfunctioning I would drive on down the road and take my chances at the plane crash site.

Lucky rattlesnake. Hope the pilot is alright - I saw his condition was serious.

Yeah I read he had some serious injuries. The $110+ million F35 didn't fare so well.

Are we talking True Grit rattlesnake pit?

Time to call in Rooster Cogburn?

Thoughts on this one? It's a 2021 base model Macan. The color reminds me of my first 914. Just wondering what the peanut gallery thinks of an SUV in that color.

My opinion gets a * , I think, because I work in color and love color. I would jump at a SUV this color. I was literally just speaking yesterday at lunch about how I'm proud I've only owned one black and one white vehicle in my life. I miss colorful vehicles. Currently bright blue pickup with a stripe :lol: , red Audi, green & yellow Parshas.

You've got to really be honest about your market, however. Would KC rock this? My short time there is not enough for me to say but you seem to have a rich car culture there and I would dare say you'd find your buyer EVENTUALLY. Quickly? Maybe no.

You'd sell it in one day here in Vegas. Food for thought :lol: (Not to me - I wish.)

In a sea of grays. blacks and silver, this would definitely stand out. It would be an easy car to find in the airport parking. :)
