All that stuff goes over my head. I understand the weight part, but the rest is gibberish to me. So I have to really on what the Porsche specialist recommend.

That's the one thing that worries me about the Joe Gibbs DT40 5W-40. I changed to Mobil 1 High Mileage 10W-30 and got engine clatter at start up. Went back to Mobil 1 0W-40 and no engine clatter.

I did read Redline 5W-40 will stop engine clatter some people were having, not sure what they were using previously.
