Thanks….I think I saw you post that earlier and I was not aware that this was the case for my engine. I guess it’s both good and bad. I’m still trying to find a competent Indie in my area who I can trust. I had planned on doing just one more change before it goes into winter storage, but maybe I’ll do one now and again in Nov. I’d like to transition to oil w/moly and considered possibly adding Cera Tec to the current(Fuchs oil)although that would taint any UOA. Appreciate the comment as it may be that many mechanics wouldn’t know it’s not possible to view from sump…and that would be a waste of $..

 

Is this a typo or am I misunderstanding something? From the LN page about SpeedDiagnostics:

"Not only does SPEEDiagnostix use the RDE method that can see particles up to 10 microns compared to the ICP process used by popular labs that can only see up to 5 microns"

5 microns is smaller than 10, right? We're talking about micrometers? So this would imply that the ICP process has higher/better resolution?

 

It means speed diagnostics can see 0-10 microns which is a larger range than 0-5 microns.

 

Checking the Driven website today and see they have a Labor Day special for 25% off. I will probably buy a case and do an oil change as I just got back from doing my first DE event ever at Road America in Elkhart Lake WI. It was put on by the Milwaukee PCA chapter. I’m really glad I did it as I got to find out just how capable my car is in that environment. I would recommend to anyone who has not done it as it will give you an appreciation for what these cars can do. My 12 year old 80k Boxster S performed flawlessly as my excellent instructor taught me how to drive the line. It was a confidence builder to keep up with the newer cars in the turns and if nothing else it was still fun pointing to allow the 911T’s to blow by me on the long straights. Definitely used up some pad material and rubber, but once warm the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s made the car feel like it was on a rail. Great people, great fun. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Looks like the DI oil is now all 5w-40.. curious to see what the Fuchs Supersyn oil looks like after completing this event..

 

We got ahold of Driven and they extended an extra discount to us, so we were able to extend the 25% promo to select Driven Racing Oil products sold by LN. This includes DT40, DI40, DT50, DI50, XP9, and XP6.

 

I switched from DT-40 to DI-40 in the last oil change, and although I thought the engine was quiet before, it's even quieter with DI-40. DI-40 is not inexpensive, but seems to be worth the premium in my brief experience with it.

 

Any current LN discount codes for Driven products?

 

Driven just had an awesome 25% discount for Labor Day. I'd sign up for their instagram page as that's where they announce various promos.

 

We mirrored their promo as they supply use special pricing to be able to do so, otherwise we'd lose money with these promos. :-)

We usually include Driven in our promos for Black Friday/Cyber Monday which will be announced in an upcoming LN newsletter. I'd suggest subscribing if you don't already receive our Tech Tuesday blasts.

Charles,
Can you check the link for the newsletter? It has a note about being in preview mode in the bottom of the page, and that nothing will be sent.....

Thank you.
