Synthetic motor oil supply is tightening, and Porsche/performance car owners should plan ahead. This post explains what’s driving the squeeze, why specialty oils matter, and how to avoid being caught short on the lubricants your engine depends on.
IMS bearing replacement is still relevant for 1997–2008 Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911 owners. The biggest myths? “It would have failed by now,” “8% was the lifetime failure rate,” and “IMS done” means no future maintenance.
Our latest Medium article explains what owners need to know.

Oil analysis isn’t just for fleets—it’s a powerful tool for race and high-performance engines.
From what to test, to proper sampling, to actually using the data, this guide breaks down how to turn oil reports into real decisions that protect your engine and improve reliability.
If you’re serious about performance, this is essential reading.
Can You Use Synthetic Oil in Old Cars?
Few topics in automotive maintenance generate as much persistent folklore as motor oil — especially when older engines are involved. One belief refuses to die: that synthetic oil is somehow unsafe for classic or high-mileage vehicles. The idea is usually paired with warnings about sudden oil leaks, seal damage, or engines that “aren’t designed for synthetics.”
Choosing a Porsche engine rebuilder isn’t about flashy claims or low prices. It’s about documented experience, Porsche-specific tooling, proven engineering solutions, and a track record that spans decades—not just builds, but problem-solving. The right rebuilder fixes known weaknesses, stands behind their work, and educates owners, not just sells repairs.

“Nickies” in 102mm were the original billet Nikasil plated cylinder from LN Engineering. 100% developed here at Aircooled Technology, these have been part of our engines since 2000. Today these are the only cylinders that we use. Fun fact: The engine built using the very first set of Nickies is still in service today, making 227HP for more than 2.5 decades.
