Well, that link isn’t working.

Just google Porsche Classic Motor Oil 5W-50.

Porsche changed their formula after seeing all the engine failures.

This just happened this year.

RELAX, RELAX - it's a 986 with 156k - There will not be any relaxing, it's just the beginning

Doesn't mean you can't enjoy the ride

As far a motor oil. Drain while there is still some gold tint to it (Not dirty black), check the filter for materials. You can even drop the sump cover to get a better idea what stuff has worn away.
