Hi,

About to domy own oil change next week and have been reading good reviews about using 5w40 instead of 0w40.

Anybody else do this and what are your opinions.

Thanks

I do with no problems. I switched from Mobil1 to Motul to Syntec.

With both Motul and Syntec the engine noise is less than With Mobil 1.

The Syntec is Porsche approved, at least the version I bought is except for the Cayenne V6.
