Also noticed this one - Whats the difference???

Motul 8100 X-cess 5W-40 Gasoline and Diesel engine oil 100% Synthetic


I noticed it is Porsche A40 Spec - is that the correct spec for a 2004 2.7?

Is the A40 spec a new spec since 2004?

Sorry for the oil thread guys but I do not want to damage my wifes boxster - she would do bad things to me when I was sleeping so I need to make sure I get the right oil for it.

Its the x-cess that you need. I looked into it last year. I can't remember all the details, could be that the x-clean is for extended drain intervals.... originally recommened for our engines but Boxsters are sports cars with sports engines, trying to squeeze 2 years or 20,000kms out of your oil is false economy in my book. The Motul complies with the Porsche spec and is on the approved oils list for a 2004 2.7.
