By Christberg Go To PostSo Porsche updated the spec page for the Mission E/Taycan and it apparently has more than 600hp, 300+ mi range and 0-62 MPH in under 3.5 secs. Sick.It will be a beast. A fancy, high-tech and mostly silent beast.

In other news I dropped the TTRS off with my trusted mechanic friend who is going to drain the break-in oil and put in fresh along with a new filter. Additionally I am going to send off a sample of the original oil to Blackstone Labs for analysis. No real reason to do this other than it just being geeky cool but it's something I've always wanted to do with a new car so I am.

What would this tell you?
By Adam Go To PostWhat would this tell you?The level of particulates in the oil as well as the condition of the detergents (which can help you determine how often you should actually be changing the oil). Here's a sample report from an Audi 3.0 engine that shows what it looks like and what they recommend based on their findings. https://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/420208-Blackstone-Labs-oil-analysis-report!-Great-results! Also, the standard test is $28 so it is fairly cheap!

Huh. Never thought of that. So what were the results? And glad you're enjoying the car.
Haven't hit 15k yet on my car 😜
