Again I have to ask, how can they justify this when there is a boatload of 911s out there w/ this sticker in the engine compartment?

It's designed for the older engines with older alloys, different seals and seal materials, and less precise tolerances. I think that is the reason, from what I read in the Original post. LOL

Newer synthetics probably work better in the newer technology engines.

I understood that 10-40 was beyond realistic expectations already. Covering 10/60 is quite something.

I like using Brad Penn 20-50 on older engines, or engines I know no history of. I use 10-30 on new engines with tighter tolerances

Ten bucks a quart isn't bad if it's a high zinc oil designed for our engines.

Tolerances - check them basically no differences-check the spec books, mains,rods,end play,ring gaps etc,etc all the same. Old wives tale just BS based on no facts.
BMW has been using 10-60 on some of their M motors for years.
Flat tappet engines 356,914,912e like extra ZDDP to prolong cam and lifter life. 6 Cyl engines don't need the extra ZDDP and any with a Cat converter should use an oil with lower ZDDP count. Just contact any oil co's tech line for the real information.

Delo might work well in a 6, but I would not run it in a 4. Flat tappet cams need more zinc and phosphorus. Delo has little of that anymore. They cut back on the diesel engine oils a couple of years ago.

I'd buy a quart just for the can, then fill it with my usual stuff, keep it in the frunk.

I like that; I'll grab on of the quart display cans; I think they are already empty

It had the highest zinc and phosphorus in this test done last year- http://www.pqiamerica.com/March2013PCMO/HD...UMMARYrev2.html

We'll soon know exactly what the composition of this oil is. More than likely we already know who is making the additive package, its just a matter of confirming some suspicions.

Its a great thing that Porsche did releasing this oil. Between the release and the text on their site describing the oil a vehicle manufacturer has finally admitted that modern oils are not optimum for vintage engines.

Thanks guys, you proved what we've been trying to tell people since 2001.

I expect the 10/60 to have an incredible amount of shear. We shall see.
