Oil that is designed for a C4. BTW, which is better a C2 or C4? I live on a three acre island that has mostly beaches but occasionally gets eight inches of snow in the winter. Will the C2 have livelier handling in the sand?

Is it true that the motorsound package will only work with a lot of ZDDP?

Yea, I just found out last week!! There are a bunch of them. Apparently, Porsche is making water cooled 911's & other watercooled cars with the engines in the middle. Go figure?

It depends...on which tires? And what ride height?

If you go lower than ROW height on the sand you'll suffer from bump steer. This in turn would create a lot of understeer due to the heavy C4 front end, and bottom out. In which case, it would be wise to have your engine tray on regardless of oil.

Awwww....I'm disappointed! This could have been about Mobil 1, Engine tray, SAI or all of the above....It could have been the never ending post!

If you are going with ROW heigth and snow is a possibility, wouldn't you want the best all season tires you coud get?

It also depends on which wing gives the best downforce for snow/sand driving, and will you be sand driving / street driving 80/20 or less sand driving? If you don't sand drive that much Motons may be overkill imho. If you get oil on your snow tires it may make street driving less enjoyable.

Is that a challenge???

BTW, if I install RS splitters, do I have to get the tail too? And should I get OEM or replica???
