I am with you on the Red Cap.
So that is why after all the oil changes we have done over the years the car sounds like a sewing machine after an oil change.

99% of the people have no clue about the reference to the red cap.

We put in what the owner bring to our work on cars days. Every brand and weight. Costco to Redline, to Kragens. After over 5 years of Boxstering I have not heard of any engine issue related to oil. Plus, Porsche changes the approved list every few months.

For you oil freaks, there is a message board.
