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.
