In this episode of Rennthusiast Radio, Will and Derek sit down with Joe Adams, Senior Analyst at Blackstone Laboratories and host of the Slick Talk podcast, to separate Porsche engine fear from real data.

We hit the stuff that keeps owners up at night. Bore scoring. Oil brand tribal wars. Additives. Long oil change intervals. Winter storage. Track use. And whether the internet’s “it’s inevitable” talk matches what Blackstone actually sees in thousands of oil reports.

Joe breaks down what oil analysis can and cannot tell you, what patterns point to real problems, and why trends matter more than one scary forum post. If you’re shopping 996, 997, 991, or you just want to sleep better with your current car, this one is for you.

Listen for:

Bore scoring reality and why the numbers surprise people

What actually matters with oil choice, viscosity, and API certification

When longer oil change intervals are fine, and when they are risky

What storage does to oil, and whether you should change it before winter

How Blackstone processes samples and what $40 testing includes
