P.S. After reading alot of replies and debates on this subject I decided to use Castrol Synthetic (Syntec) 10W40. if you are lucky you can find it at your local Wallyworld in 5 Qt. containers priced reasonably.
+1 on all of the above & I am changing my breakin oil at 200 miles. If I were in MTS position with reman engine & mobil 1 synthetic oil in it I would be tempted to stay with full synthetic if I was sure the rings were seated (no exhaust Smoke) I will change the oil around 200 miles to try & purge dust,etc. that got into engine during assembly. I guess to an extent you have to follow Porsche recommendations to maintain Warranty, another good reason to choose Castrol as it is Porsche approved.
