if you still have the oil, send a sample to your local CAT dealer for analysis

I do ....but
The oil pan it ran into has been used for everything...one of those that traps the oil and you pour it out....no telling what is in the crevices and bottom. I need to actually find a new oil pan....this one almost runs over as the oil is draining from my Boxster

And no mention of or questioning oil weight or brand?????
Just do what my dad did when I was a kid. Dig a hole and pour the oil in and it magically vanishes back into the oil reserves.
