I've looked at Kragen's and Napa with no luck and no registered RP dealer around here has 0-40 only 5-30 and 10-30...

Check out this link on Amazon.com. Shipping is free on any order over $25. Also Pep Boys will special order any RP product but be prepared to pay a premium.

Royal Purple gets a $2-3/qt premium for the 0w40 and 5w40 over the 10w40.

I'd only use the 40 weight oil in my engine. Porsche never recommended the 30 weight oil. Oil that's too light may not have strong enough film strength and will reduce system pressure.

If the smoke is black, it's a fuel related issue, as stated earlier. Burning oil is blue.
