Engine Oil for 2001 986

[Gelbster]

Slate,
Nobody who really knows the M96 mechanically will ever have a word of criticism for you using JGDT40.

I do appreciate the interest and advice that I have received from everyone.

What's the oil change interval for DT40?

JG is in the house. And so is JD

I pulled this from Rennlist, a post by Jake Raby. Maybe just hype but I don't think so:

It has my name right on the label.. Its used in all of our engines and we use nothing else.

I never wanted it released to the public, but it was in March of 2012, before that we developed and hoarded it (not advertised) for our engines. Lake Speed from JGR, Charles Navarro of LN and I have developed this oil from scratch ONLY based upon the M96 engine as our test subject.

I have never seen a UOA from the DT40 with less than 1250PPM, I have hundreds of UOAs from our engines using this oil in my ledger.

So if this earl was developed based upon the M96 engine, I have to feel pretty good about using this earl in my Boxster

Okay, exactly what brand and weight of oil are we talking about here?

Try it, and send a sample out for a good UOA. We have run dozens, and I have to agree with Jake.

I am also using Joe Gibbs/Driven DT 40 recommended by the Porsche specialist garage I go to.
About to do an oil change, got the NAPA Platinum filter instead of Gold this time.
