I'm sure this question has been asked before but I couldn't find it. I just got my first Porsche last week (73 914 1.7). I want to go ahead and change the oil to be on the safe side. I'm looking for some recomendations for oil types/brands. should I use "racing oil" with zddp? any info would be help full.
Thanks, A new 914 owner |

Up to this point, I think the best oil for our motors is Brad Penn 20W-50 racing oil. It has the adequate ZDDP, and wear characteristics for air cooled engines. Others know more that I do, but I've always used Brad Penn per Jake Raby's suggestion.

Maybe he'll give me a discount on an engine (hopefully a long time from now). |
