I see Porsche classic oil for 3.0-up is 10W60, also seeing 10W60 as a recommended fill from others.
I'll be using a dino break in and dino oil for the first few changes on my new engine, just wondering what others think of this weight. Are the new synthetic better at transferring heat now and do they still have leak/weep issues? Honest not looking for a fight....

We use Rotella T at the shop. The nice thing is it usually sells for -$14 gallon at the local auto stores.

My plan was to just stick with the Delo, thinking that I should just go with that. It's about the same price, maybe a bit cheaper by the 20L (5.2 gal) pail. I think it works out to less than $4 a liter/quart. |

I am planning to do a track day soon though and am thinking of going to the Brad Penn 20-50 for a little additional protection. Also Delo is not so expensive with all the initial break-in oil changes Wayne Dempsey recommends. Henry at Supertech mentioned they pulled motors apart after running on Delo 400 and they didn't even look used (not sure on the mileage). |
