I just invested "mucho dinero" in a new dry-sumped Type 4 engine(2056 cc) and want to protect it with the best oil. Any suggestions from my experienced racing friends?

TC. You have a point regarding the air cool type. But with the new technology - ie vario cam...these new water cool needs a very thin oil to work properly... I also have 996 with 6459 total miles. ..ya I need to drive it more as I spec order it in 2002 for 2003 delivery...my high school Master Porsche tech friend...made the suggestion on keeping Mobil 0-40 along with the Swepco...I change oil in that once a year no matter the miles driven for the year...if your wondering type of 996.. It was the 2nd allocation for that release in 2003. Ya I tend to believe my high school Porsche Master Tech buddy.
Enjoy your holidays |
