A Message From The PresidentHi Musik-Stadt!

I’m Dan Martin, new president of Musik-Stadt. In my first address to you I would like to begin by saying wow! What huge shoes I’m stepping into. Mike Moody has been our president for who knows how long? I’ve been in awe at the time and effort Mike has put into our club. Mike loves Musik-Stadt. He seems to know everyone in Middle Tennessee who has ever been a PCA member and will continue to serve as a very valued resource as our “Member-At-Large” board member.

I love how Mike has always been quick to email his board of directors when he makes a contact with a prospective new member. He really gets excited when he is recruiting for M-S. We are both alike in this respect. When I see someone in a parking lot climbing out of a Porsche I rush over to talk to them about their P-car and Musik-Stadt. I’m always trying to recruit new members. I’m sure you do too. I was a salesman for 40 years I just can’t help selling our club. I love telling prospective members about the features and benefits of joining PCA. About our tours, our annual concours, our meetings and the friends they’ll make in Musik-Stadt.

I first joined PCA in 1975. I had driven to Memphis to look at a 1965 356C. It was slate gray with red interior, a strong rebuilt engine and a ring-gear that chattered like crazy. It made me feel like a million bucks driving it home from Memphis. Sure it was rusty. Heck it “grew up” in New Jersey. But that mattered not at all. I had a Porsche and I joined the PCA. Mid-South Region. I couldn’t find anybody here in the PCA. I was a traveling salesman living on the road covering two states. The only Porsche guy I knew was my dirt-bike riding buddy Bill Andre. Bill advised me to put another transaxle in and loaned me his 356B workshop manual to accomplish the task. He also advised to let the transaxle drain for at least one week to avoid a huge mess. I waited two weeks and that was not long enough. I did the dastardly deed in my Dad’s garage. Mistake. Afterwards Dad said “don’t you ever tear down a motor, transmission or rear-end again in my garage”. I bought “Sta-Dri” for him for 2 years soaking up the mess. I sold the little rust bucket to

fund a new BMW 2002 in 1976 for my understanding bride and was out of the P-car game until I bought a Boxster in 2003. It’s been Boxsters ever since for me. They’re fun, have plenty of storage for road trips and they don’t break. Who could ask for more?

Back to PCA business. When you talk to PCA members you hear a lot of reasons why they joined the club. The dealer paid for their membership, they like the monthly tours, they wanted the magazine, etc. One lady I ran into in Brentwood volunteered that they are members of PCA. She said her husband joined to get the 10% discount on parts from the dealer but she had no idea that we have monthly tours. Point being there are a multitude of reasons for joining the club and any reason for joining is a good reason but not all members are interested in the same things. And that’s OK. I think my job as president is to help keep the club moving forward, to grow membership and membership involvement. Involvement means participation. Participation in more than our concours or tours, but also in leadership. We want more people to take active roles in planning and execution of events, to develop new types of events that reach a broader audience. We need more members taking active roles in formal board positions and our elections. Is it really an election when there is only one person being considered for each board position? No! I’m asking everyone to seriously consider where you can help the club by more than just paying dues and going on an occasional drive. As one of my old bosses used to say “I want you to help me help you”. Musik-Stadt is a great Porsche region. Help us make it better!

Synthetic Oils; Should You Be Using ThemBy: Ken Koop - Yellowstone Region

Do synthetics work better in some cars than others? Can you change the oil less frequently by using them? Do they make your engine last longer? Should you be using them in your car? Are they cost effective? Will they make the engine seals leak? Most people do not really understand how synthetic oils work or how they benefit an engine. Let’s examine some of these questions to get a better understanding of synthetic oils.

The precursors to synthetic oil actually began during World War II and then became even more important for the aviation industry with the development of jet engines. Synthetic oils are unique in their ability to function very dependably during extreme hot and cold operating temperatures. They also can withstand the rigorous and lengthy high temperature engine operation (without chemical breakdown) that a jet engine places on their lubricating fluids. Because of their extraordinary capacity to reduce friction and wear on jet engine parts, other applications to utilize synthetic oils were quickly looked at. Since these same advantages would obviously be a benefit to the automobile industry, the oil companies began working to bring synthetics to the automotive market. Early synthetic oil applications for road use were developed as problem solvers. Engine oil products from Conoco and Mobil were developed for use in equipment on the Alaskan North Slope due to the extreme cold weather operating conditions. In 1972, Amsoil introduced their synthetic motor oil for automotive applications and shortly thereafter, Mobil SHC was launched for cars in Europe. Mobil SHC went through further development and in 1974 it became the product we know today as Mobil 1. By the 1990’s, many other oil companies brought their synthetic oils to the marketplace and sold them along with their conventional petroleum-based products. Mobil 1 is by far, the largest selling

brand of synthetic motor oil on the market today.

Conventional oils come from crude oil that is pumped out of the ground. In an oil refinery, crude oil is separated into various “fractions”. These fractions become the bases for lubricating oils and fuels. The part of crude oil that form the thick tangled masses of carbon chains are used in roofing tars and blacktop for roads. The very short-chain and ring compounds of carbon are volatile and can be refined to produce gasoline, diesel, lubricating oil and other products.

All motor oils are composed of (1) base oils and (2) additives (e.g. detergents). In general, fully synthetic motor oils contain 100% non-conventional, high-performance fluids. Whereas, synthetic blends typically use some non-conventional high-performance fluids, in combination with conventional oil for their bases. It is the unique chemical formulation of synthetic oil that allows them to be highly resistant to viscosity breakdown caused by high temperatures, friction and chemical contaminates. The chemical contaminates that affect a motor oil’s life are controlled by the detergents that are added to all oils (both synthetic and conventional). These detergents suspend, absorb or breakdown the contaminates in the oil and are one of the main reasons that oil needs to be changed on a regular basis.

Conventional oils lack the performance of synthetic oils in the areas of both low-temperature flow rates (pour points) and high-temperature oxidation stability (flash points). Conventional motor oil is made up of an inconsistent mixture of long and short chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms. In the extreme heat of an engine, the short-chain molecules can evaporate and unstable long-chain molecules can oxidize and break down.

Conventional oils also contain greater amounts of impurities such as sulfur, reactive and unstable hydrocarbons as well as other undesirable contaminates that cannot be completely removed by the conventional refining process. Mobil 1 uses high-performance fluids including polyalphaolefins, along with a proprietary system of additives, which turn the finished oil into a much purer and homogeneous lubricant.

Should you be using synthetic oils in your car? Well that depends on the vehicle’s age, mileage and recommendation from the manufacturer. Older vehicles with high mileage tend to have excessive mechanical wear in the engine, allowing for unwanted internal oil by-pass (burned in the combustion chamber by passing through the piston rings). For vehicles with high mileage, it may not be ideal to use conventional or synthetic oils with lower viscosity ratings such as 0W-20/30 or 5W-20/30 because they are very thin and free flowing. The use of these lower viscosity oils could potentially result in higher internal oil consumption in older engines. However, the use of synthetic oils in older vehicles without excessive wear is permissible. One concern that owners of air cooled engines have is the reduction of Zinc (Z) and Phosphate (P) in the newer (actually all) oil formulations. This reduction in Z & P helps to prolong the catalytic converter’s service life. However, these same compounds have been instrumental in reducing wear on valve train components such as cam lobes and valve lifters in older engines. Using higher viscosity synthetic oils such as 15W-50 still retain higher levels of Z & P and are probably still permissible to be used for air cooled engines. The formulations are continually changing, so it is wise to monitor the oil that you use for both Z & P levels.

Many automobile manufacturers use full synthetic and semi-synthetic oils in their engines today. Porsche adds Mobil 1 at the factory to all of their new cars and only

recommends Mobil 1 to be used in their cars since it is one of the few synthetic oils that are actually fully synthetic (not just a semi-synthetic blends). Porsche has used Mobil 1 exclusively since the early 90’s, in all of their production and racing cars. In general, you will find that synthetic lubricants are used when there is a high-performance engine with tight tolerances; high compression ratios; turbo-chargers; or high operating temperatures involved. For those of you that track your cars, especially on hot days, synthetic oils are much more predictable than conventional oils and are able to prevent the viscosity of the oil from breaking down (making synthetics more stable). It is also important to follow the owner’s manual for the correct motor oil recommendations regarding viscosity grades (0W-40, 15W-50 etc) to provide proper lubrication and cooling of the engine parts at all operating temperatures. If you want to use a synthetic oil and your car is still under warranty, check with your local dealer before switching to a synthetic oil to make sure you are able to do so under the warranty specifications (the last sentence pertains to your non-Porsche automobiles).

Porsche uses fairly low viscosity ratings for their newer cars (generally 0W-40 and 5W-40 weight oils). There are a number of reasons for this; the first is that the car will get better fuel mileage with lighter weight oils since heavier oils generate more resistance. Another is that with the use of newer and lighter weight materials inside the engine, tolerances are tighter and lighter oils will flow better between the two materials. With the development of the Vario-Cam Plus system in the mid 90’s (which helps to develop more power and better fuel mileage), it requires the use of lower viscosity oils to work properly. Sludge and varnish build-up inside the engine are all but eliminated with the use of these light weight synthetics. So there is good reason for Porsche to be using them.

Another commonly asked question is; will synthetic oil leak out of my older car’s gaskets or seals? The answer is, (according to the Exxon Mobil Corp.) “Mobil 1 does not cause leaks. Mobil 1 was tested in dozens of industry standard and original equipment manufacturers tests to prove its seal performance. It is fully compatible with the elastomeric materials from which all automotive seals and gaskets are made. If an older engine is in good condition and does not currently have oil leaks, then Mobil 1 will provide the same advantages as when used in a new engine”.

The auto manufacturers use synthetic oils for a number of reasons: (1) They provide better lubrication allowing the engine to last longer. Synthetics are able to do this because the molecules reduce friction so much better than conventional oils. They produce less engine wear and provide for greater engine longevity. (2) Synthetic oils give better fuel economy because there is less friction developed between moving engine parts. (3) Engine start-up wear is also greatly reduced with 0W-xx or 5W-xx viscosities, because the fluids can be pumped through the oil system easily and get to the parts requiring lubrication quickly (especially beneficial in cold climates). (4) Synthetics are highly resistant to viscosity breakdown (the ability of an oil to flow during all ranges of operating temperatures) from heat, friction and chemical contaminates. (5) They provide for longer service intervals (5,000-7,000 miles compared to 3,000 miles for conventional oils). For instance, my Porsche Cayenne has a recommended oil change interval of 20,000 miles with the use of Mobil 1. (6) Because of their longer service life, they are also better for the environment since there is less dirty oil that has to be recycled. (7) Synthetics have proven themselves in the most difficult of all automotive applications—racing. Almost every Porsche and professional racing team now use synthetic oils exclusively in their race cars.

One of the only arguments for not using synthetic oils is the cost. They are about two to three times the price of conventional oils. However, because of their superior lubricating properties, the increase in cost is more than offset by improving the engine’s performance, lowering the maintenance costs (extending the oil change interval), being friendlier to the environment, reducing fuel consumption and increasing the longevity of the engine itself.

Exxon Mobil Corp. currently makes two different types of synthetic oils; Mobil 1 and Mobil 1 Extended Performance (good for 15,000 miles between oil change intervals). Both offer superior lubricating properties for all of our high-performance engines. Another thing you may wish to consider is the lubrication of the car’s non-engine parts (ball joints for steering, wheel bearings and transmissions). Mobil 1 also offers a full range of synthetic gear lubricants and synthetic grease that will out-perform conventional lubricants. With the use of these products, you should be able to keep your Porsche running at its best for a long time.

Editor’s Note: The above article was written about three years ago; however as winter is quickly passing and many may be thinking of spring maintenance, it seemed appropriate to run once again.

2017 Banquet - Another Great EveningBy: Dan Martin

Musik-Stadt kicked 2017 off in fine fashion at the Brentwood Country Club with our awards banquet. The crowd of seventy-two Porsche aficionados showed up ready to party and learn who our 2016 “Enthusiast of the Year” would be among other awards.

Following a great cocktail hour and dinner of filet or chicken outgoing president Mike Moody got the awards presentations and door prize drawings rolling. Here’s the way the recognition and awards rolled out:

First to be recognized was Mike Moody who was presented a special award for his fantastic leadership and dedication to our club as president of Musik-Stadt. The next presentation was to Randy Lynch for earning the Enthusiast of the Year Award. This honor is presented to our member who took part in the most Musik-Stadt events throughout the year. The results were extremely close and it took Mike Moody at least two counts of all our event sign-in sheets/waivers to determine the winner. Well done Randy! Neiland Pennington was recognized for being a PCA member for 57 years. Congratulations Neiland! Next was a special presentation of a beautiful award to John Hudson for his significant contributions to the club. John was a founding member of Musik-Stadt which was chartered on November 10, 1982 and was also the creator of our annual Concours that has grown incredibly in popularity and number of entrants since 2014. Thanks John!Ray May was in attendance and also recognized as one of our charter members of 1982. Congratulations and thank you Ray!

This year we had some great door-prizes as usual. Below are some of the winners of our prizes:- Wickie Lawrie won a beautiful watch donated by E.J. Sain Jewelers, 4017 Hillsboro Pike- John Hudson won a spectacular print of a Carrera 6 from Rennsport Reunion V by Bruce

A poker run is an organized event where participants must visit 4-5 checkpoints, drawing a single playing card at each one, and then travel to the next location, eventually building their complete poker "hand.” The object is to have the best poker hand at the end of the run. Poker run organizers usually develop a unique or scenic route to each of the stops and the run normally takes 2-4 hours to complete. The Start Driving, Stop Leukemia Charity Poker Run is organized by the Team Annie Rose Foundation (TARF). The TARF was founded in 2013 and is a 501c that benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) here in middle Tennessee. The LLS provides funds for research of all blood cancers and helps support patients and families of Tennessee. Annie Rose, started the foundation and is a 18-year survivor of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. Annie Rose underwent 27 months of chemo at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. She is an inspiration to us all and has been raising money for the LLS for over 11 years, raising $132,000 in the last four years. The Poker Run will be held on Saturday, May 13th and the registration fee is $200. This fee includes a poker hand for the driver and a passenger. The event will start at Porsche of Nashville with breakfast provided. Check in, registration and breakfast will start at 7:30 AM. You will receive instructions and your first two poker cards before leaving between 8:30 and9:00. You will pick up the remainder of your cards at three stops, the last being Velocity Motor Cars where lunch will be provided. The winning hand will be revealed along with door prizes and there will be a live auction. The event should be over by 1:30 PM. The participates will follow a planned route of three stops after leaving Porsche of Nashville. Cars will be released in groups of 10 with a lead driver to follow. At the last stop the hands will be compared and the top three hands will win a prize! REGISTER AT:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/start-driving-stop-leukemia-charity-poker-run-tickets-29496039448  Ross Robinson, President teamannierose@gmail.com615-973-4780Annie Rose, FounderTeam Annie Rose Foundation
