15W-50 vs 10W-30 which should I use?
Which Engine Oil should I use? I live in New Orleans.....
According to http://www.986faq.com/2-0/default.asp#011 "10W-30 For areas where continuous ambient temperatures get below 50°F/10°C for significant periods of time but remain above 32°F/10°C most of the time. 15W-50 For areas where continuous ambient temperatures stay above 50°F/10°C most of the time." |

Refer to your owners manual. Generally, the manual recommends Mobil 1 -W-40, not the weights you refer to. However, some folks in wamer climates use M1 15W-50 in summer, which USED to be the oil that Porsche specd. I am reasonalby usre that 10W-30 has never been recommended by Porsche for a Box. be sure to use a quality synthetic. |
If you want to use a 50 weight oil, the only Porsche approved one is Mobil 1 5W50. Unfortunately, this oil is not being sold in the USA. You can find it in Canada.
I might try this oil in late 2008. You will be well served by 0W40 Mobil 1 |

Hello.
I've already switch to 5W50. It's on the Porsche approved oil list for Boxster. Take a look at this renntech post. 5w50 renntech post |
What about a Mobile 1 Oil that is available in the United States?

When the dealer changed the oil, they put in M1 0w-40.
