I can't understand why some owners who are afraid to drive their cars above 4000 rpms after they are warmed up would use an oil that is not approved by Porsche.

IF you are referring to me, I am not afraid to drive ANY car over 4000 RPM and have never said so.

I simply said you are fooling yourself if you think that living at the red line will do your engine "GOOD". This defies the laws of physics.

Specific to Porsche and oil, I consider the source and act accordingly.

However, you are free to use whatever oil you want, that is why this is such a great country!

PS-cross thread pot shots are considered bad form.

Take it off line if you have a beef with me.
