Would you rather dump $50 for oil or +$10,000 for an engine replacement. Pretty easy now?

I suggest you use Mobil 1's 5W50. It is Porsche approved. My UOA's with this oil are excellent, and slightly better than when I was running Red Line 5W40. The 5W50 is a little hard to find, and about $9/quart.

Here's one place you can order from:

Industrial Lubricants | Food Grade Lubricants detail&itemcode=98HF24

Drain it into clean container(s), then use it for another car. Or your lawnmower---a lifetime supply!
