Engine oil for 986

[Mastergmt]

Hi,

0w or 15w is irrelevant in Singapore. For older cars with higher mileage, the consensus is to use thicker oil 50 and the trend is gyrating towards thinner oil (40 or even 30) even for higher mileage cars. 40 or 50, key is to use Porsche recommended oil or well established brands.

What about 0w40 vs 0w50?

Would 0w50 be better for our 986 Boxsters? (Given the age, I heard more viscous engine oil confers more protection for the engine, true?)
