Don't assume everyone is using Mobil 1 , many have learned there are much better oils available . Not going to get in an oil debate so I'll stop there . Pelican Parts is the sponsor of this website , they are good people and offer a wide variety of parts for Porsche vehicles . They are a good vendor to support . But you can buy local also if you want to support your local auto parts stores . Enjoy your new purchase .

I used M1 for my first oil change. I read some articles about the declining efficacy of the product (not meeting certain standards/new formulation) and discontinued using it. I now run a major brand European formula, ~$24/5 quarts. And, run the WIX/NAPA Gold filter.

I'd run a full synthetic that meets the standards, checking the condition of your oil each change (check that filter, too). Don't get so caught up in brand names instead making sure the oil meets efficacy standards. Change it regularly.

Cheers!
