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....

Apparently Mobil 1 full synthetic 15-50 is a big hit too with 1300ppm zinc, also very cheap and at walmart.
Doing some more digging on pelicanparts the majority likes Brad Penn 20w50 if the motor doesnt leak and VR1 if it does leak. Post #20 on here has a good summary of the ultimate oil thread- http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911...-choice-sc.html |
