This Forgotten German Mechanic OUTSMARTED Porsche With a “Banned” Cooling Trick in 1956

Th video is shots of nice 356s mixed with stock photos keyed to individual words. The story's bottom line is at ?t=1077
Quote:
17:58 The oil consumption was negligible. Most of the misted oil recondensed and returned to the sump. Net consumption
18:05 was maybe 0.2 L per hour, which is less than a hard-driven stock 356 would
18:11 consume through normal blowby and oil vapor from the crankcase breather.
The reason it's in Unicorn Corral is that the AI doesn't propose a plausible way for the oil to return from the air (or the outside of the cylinder fins) to the oil sump.

.2 liters so pretty much .2 quarts. Maybe, at 100 MPH that's a quart every 500 miles.

I'd tap the windshield washer bottle instead.
