Wow I am going to ask Porsche about this one. Why on earth are service shops and the dealer keep putting in 0W???? I would think this would be way too low on the viscosity index for anybody but a winter driver. I am a bit freaked out as I have always used 0W..

I will get a manual for myself!

Thanks...

One reason might be that 0W40 is harder to find and more expensive...more people might just opt for the dealer to do the service!!!!$$$$$

it seems that the intent of lightweight oil was to reduce lifter noise on start-up........
