• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    engine oil for 998 sm5 ?

    If in doubt.... Go with the XPS from BRP blend 5w40. I have used this for years with good results on my 2012 RS Sm5. It is refined by Castrol but I recently changed to Castrol 10w40 blended as we are in a warmer climate :thumbup:
