Puzzling over this myself too for my new to me '01 with 110,000Km. The owners manual seems to suggest 10W-40 synthetic as being "in range" for cold and warm weather driving so I'm tempted to go with that. I have been using 5W-40 Kendall GT-1 Synth (Euro blend) in my 951, mainly that's what Furtmair was filling it with for the previous owner.

Also why Porsche has us check the oil when the engine's hot, and off just a few minutes. *NM* Laz - Wednesday, 5 February, 2014, at 10:41:01 pm |
