You’re Killing Your Porsche by Babying It | The Motor Oil Geek

Could babying your Porsche actually be shortening the life of its engine?

This week on Eleven After Nine, I sit down with Lake Speed Jr., better known as The Motor Oil Geek, for a conversation every Porsche owner should hear.

Lake is a Certified Lubrication Specialist, Oil Monitoring Analyst, Porsche owner, founder of SPEEDiagnostix, and one of the people behind the development of Driven Racing Oil. He has spent years studying used oil samples and what they can tell us about engine wear.

We start with one of the most debated issues in the Porsche world, bore scoring.

Is the commonly quoted 2% bore-scoring rate really the whole story?

Lake explains what he found after looking at thousands of oil samples, why elevated iron, aluminum and silicon matter, and why a single oil analysis tells you far less than watching the trend over several oil changes.

Then we get into the part that surprised me most.
