There are over 100 Porsche approved A40 oils. Even one called Elf. I always liked that name.

Some of the best Porsche approved oils are:

Mobil 5W50
Motul 5W40 Excess

Some of the best non Porsche approved oils are:

Red Line 5W40
Joe Gibbs DT40

I've used all of these except Motul. Currently hooked on Mobil 5W50. Based on over 100,000 Porsche miles in 2 different water cooled cars (987S Boxster and now 991S Carrera PowerKit).
