The formulation of Mobil 1 has changed significantly since it was originally recommended by Porsche for the M96.
Check the JGDT40 threads and Bitog site for specifics.
Tribology has advanced a lot since the 1990's ,so it is possible to spec an oil more closely to the M96's peculiar needs now than it was 20+ years ago. These criteria become more important as the miles accumulate on an M96 ?
Just compare the specs of the Old vs.New Mobil 1 and JGDT40. Significant differences .
