You are correct. All defined by the container's sticker and fancy 3D motion simulations of rev'ing engines on TV to me lolll

If I had to recommend oil to anyone, for a Porsche car anyway, I'd say stick to what they recommend (Mobil 1, 0-40). The type/viscosity have been tested in their labs more than once I'd like to think. Tested for chemical stability with the type of steel & aluminum grades, carbons/silicons, and other composites your engine is made of (harsh conditions tested also).

Pressure that oil makes on vital high speed components have also been tested, by Porsche Eng. Those same guys that some here thinks, don't know half of what they are doing.
