The last few lists of approved oils state that they are retroactive for Porsches made since a certain date, excluding certain models.
The bulletin/list issued April 11, 2007 states that the list is for all Porsches made since 1984, except for the V6 Cayenne.
The prior list was issued July 28, 2006.
So what happens when an oil is on the list, then that oil is taken off the list when the next list comes out a year later?
Everyone has to go to their dealer and immediately change their oil - just a joke.
The dealerships have to throw away all their oil inventory if the oil was on the old list but not on the most recent list - just another joke.
The bulletin issued April 11, 2007 states that the remaining inventory of engine oil specified in the prior list (July 28, 2006) can be used up until June 30, 2007 if the oil is not on the April 11th list. Now, figure that one out.
Then, the April 11th bulletin/list states that Porsche has reached an agreement with the oil companies. An oil approved by Porsche is valid for 2-3 years. After that time Porsche's approval is revoked unless an extension is requested by the company.
Being a cynical Boxster owner, I wonder what it take$ to get on and $tay on the li$t of oil$ approved by Porsche.
