The Porsche list of approved oil manufacturers / grades also recommend just about all the weights to be 0W40 or 5W40 grade oils. Some people living in hot climates go for 15W50 grade oil. I tried that option but went back to 5W40 Shell Hellix as on the thicker oil I seemed to to lose engine performance....... __________________ 2001 Boxster S (triple black).
