RUMOR:Porsche to annunce fix for the "Intemix Problem"


RUMOR: After many years of denying any significant intermix problem with the M96 engines, Porsche may soon announce a final solution to the non-existent problem. Working in conjunction with Mobil Oil they will soon announce a new multi-purpose fluid that serves as either/both oil for lubrication and as a coolant in the cooling system. The use of this new fluid, in conjunction with a small pump to transfer excess fluid from the oil pan to the coolant expansion tank will prove once and for all that the problem never really existed.

Porsche may state “Who cares if the fluids intermix, they are all the same! The real problem is that owners have been using the wrong fluid all along!”

Can it be true?

Sorry, First time I read/hear about such a problem on 996?

Is this at all common? Anybody experienced it? What are the symptoms?

Or is this thread just a hoax?

Sorry but I've already started using Mobil1 5W50 oil in the cooling system.
