It's a simple question but tried to search and couldn't find an answer. My 1976 manuel says to use SAE 30- API specs "SD or SE". Tried to buy this and found out no one has it. Does anyone know what Porsche has to say and if there was a bulletin issued for the correct oil to use in todays market. Thanks...

Don't be too hasty to switch to 0w30. It works fine in engines specifically designed for it, but it's too thin for those that weren't. You might also want to look at your owners manual. The newer cars I work on want thicker oil for sustained high speed driving, and for hotter weather. However, I don't work on no steenkin chebbies, so I can't tell you for sure. The Cap'n
