There is a different version for Boxster/Cayman since the dynamics/orientation of the engine is reversed.

I will be sending out a questionnaire shortly to everyone on the list to gather some data on the cars/engines that the UIDS will be installed on, hopefully to include a UOA.
So if you haven't yet got a UOA, I suggest you get one now.

Good stuff. I have 2 UOAs with SpeeDiagnostix ready to go for you with access to manometer and Durametric to provide any additional data that it can give. Definitely like the approach taken here. Not only are you designing a product that will address a major issue but it goes beyond just selling it. I think this database of info will be very helpful for you but for also other folks learning about the product.

BTW I've had several people PM me thinking they had to do an oil change to do a UOA. It is not necessary to do an oil change to get a sample.
Just warm up the oil, then shut down the engine and use one of those oil extractors to get a sample from the dip-stick tube. It wont go all the way to the bottom of the Sump because the tube is crimped on the lower end, but will down enough to get a sample.

It’s not worth the cost.
Thanks Pete !!

is overkill , two if you send them to speed diagnostics, I wouldn’t even send my lawn mower used oil analysis over there. A lot of people here don’t know what they are doing or who’s lab they are sending their samples to. Anyway if you want a true perspective next time you send a sample to wherever, ask them what equipment are they running the sample on, when it was manufactured and worst yet when was the last time it was calibrated,

skip at worst we are talking about a $30k engine. Honestly as a lubrication engineer I don’t understand you guys Afair with a used oil analysis. Yes I had many truck fleets with Cummins signature 600 engines, yes people those are 1 million dollar engines, yes on those I can understand used oil analysis but on our engines, one I think

But my Porsche engine, that's different. Too many M96/7 engines have debris in them/or are making debris. I understand SpeedDiagnostix can detect metal debris up to 10 microns, many can only detect up to 5 micron.
If you know of a Lab that can detect metal debris larger than 10 micron on a UOA, please let us all know, or maybe you could do the community a favor and find us one?

Used oil analysis lab.
I agree I wouldn't send my lawn mower used oil there for analysis either, or anyplace else. I am probably more frugal with my money than you are. ( a lot because I have a lot less of it...lol)

I believe I have stated or mentioned this before on the community. I would use Analysts Inc here in stafford Texas. If anyone is going to do an analysis go ahead and get the Cadillac I believe it’s 21 elements and also get readings on TBN and TAN. This lab normally doesn’t do individuals but if you give them a call as I did I guess like 7 or 8 months ago they’ll work with you. Thanks
Definitely not going to turn this into an "oil thread".......
