Castrol EDGE 0W-40 A3/B4 | Features and Recommended Engines | Castrol EDGE

Alot has happend with new oil since this car was made in 2000

Also, this noise has reappeared, and I managed to locate the exact place where it is coming from: somewhere above the right front wheel and below the hood / gas cap area: Boxster strange noise below hood / above right front wheel - YouTube

Here is the blink Drive by the way..

I dont think so. I think it is the same like 30years ago. just different spice in the recipe to stimulate the competition. like girl cosmetic. oil is oil but the bottles is different and labels is all kind of colors. some bottle labels glow here in france

the only thing I understand about oil is if too thick it will not oil a performance engine properly or fast enough I forget. also I know some oil type will cause damage to some of the parts surface in the engine leaving deposite and other built up. so always better to check with the car makers

I seen on another forum a web link to the Porsche recommended oil but I lost it. it was a complete list of all approved oil. I cant find the link in google because the keywords are all giving info about other little company and many forum debates. Oil is a big business LOL $$$$$$$$$
