What Type Of Oil?
#33
One of the Motul reps was a sponsor at this past track weekend. He told me that in Europe Porsche is going to switch from 0w oils altogether to the 5w oils, and that the rest of the world would follow thereafter

There are only 1 bar left, so I went to my OPC to see if I can buy some oil and get to know some people. But their service dept is closed.
I went to costco and there are only 5W30 Mobile 1 or 10W40 for 26 dollars for a box. The OPC said I can only use 0W40.....
what should I do?

My manual says 0W-40, 5W-40, or 5W-50 are all approved for over -13F/-25C. 0W-40 is the ONLY recommended viscosity if operating BELOW -13F/-25C. (page 207 of 08 Turbo manual) Is there a list of approved brands? Unless my Porsche dealer has changed oils recently, they use Castrol. They have been doing my oil service since my first Porsche in 1980.

I run the 0W40 in the 997tt. My other Porsches get 15W50. I figure the bearing loads and piston speeds on the 8000+ rpm Gt3's do just fine on the 0W40 and should be just fine on the 997tt as well. I don't think Porsche would recommend substandard oils in cars that they have to warranty
