Royal Purple is NOT a Porsche approved oil. I hear it is an excellent product, though, and may try it in the future. I am currently using Red Line.

But, only Randal is using the proper Porsche approved viscosity. I would never use a 5W30 in a Porsche engine, and is not an approved viscosity. 10W40 is not approved either, but a safer choice. You will probably notice more lifter chatter on cold start-ups.

And this statement from Violametallic, "... So im assuming this is a good thing and the oil is cleaning out the internals of the engine, am i correct?" is certainly NOT a good thing. You have other issues going on that need fixing.
