Yeah, that was me. I haven't had to put in any extra oil since then, but there again I've only added another ±250km since putting the oil in, so makes senses...

Does anyone know if the T-design memory module works for the RS?

1.6L in 3000 miles, including 3 track days...I also noticed these engines tend to smoke quite a bit on some (not all the time) cold starts, same on 992 GT3

It is ridiculously loud yes, but you become used to it. The 4RS is not for the faint of heart and has some similarities to the raw powerful nature a viper gives. I'm glad I went with 18 ways in mine though as at least it's comfortable as compared to the buckets plus the sound being a miserable combo.

I wished I would have went with the 18 ways. Does anyone know if they can be retrofitted?

Funny I just did the 2023 1Lap and we had 3 700 mile transits. Both my co driver and I had no back or discomfort issues with the bucket seats. Would have been nice if they tilted for resting but a neck pillow allowed dozing as needed.

I wouldn't used the word ridiculously. Yes, It's louder inside than other P cars but I find it quite Ok when used on the street at sane speeds/rpm.....now if you need to rev it 9K all the time on the way to the C&C guess it 's loud.
No discussion on the 18-ways, they are obviously more comfortable and a good option for those than don't track and can live with an RS without LBWS....fo some this is heresy but I have done GT cars with 2-ways. Even the occasional track day is Ok.
