my 997 3.6 is due an annual service shortly. It has been approx 18 months since an engine rebuild (6 new liners etc etc). The rebuild was not done by Hartech and Hartech liners were not used.
The car runs great, although oil pressure at full temperature remains a little low (just over 1 rather than 1.25-1.5). This has been thoroughly investigated (including changing out pretty much all of the oil cooling and pump system).
The car is running the recommended Mobil 1 oil at the moment and doesn't burn a huge amount (less than 1.5 litre over 7k miles).
The question is, should i move over to the slightly higher weight Millers oil as suggested by some on here?
I'm planning a couple of Euro trips down to Italy this year and my worry is getting caught in traffic in high ambient temperatures.
cheers
