What type of oil do you use in your 914?

I do have the owner's manual but I am VERY curious to what most 914 owners use?

does anyone use mobile 1 or synthetic? what kind?

BTW: I did do a search and does not seem anyone else has asked this. if so I am sorry.

Tons of oil threads.
most people will use 20w-50 in the summer. Brad Penn or Joe Gibbs.

If you drive in the cold move to a 40wt oil in the frozen months.

Just make sure it has ZDDP.

4 or 6?

In the 4, when I had one, I use 20w/50 Castrol GTX on the 90+ summer months. Rest of the time it's 10w-40.

In the 6, I'd use either Mobil1 or Syntec 5w-30 or 40

My thought on synthetic, it's a wonderful oil, keeps oil temps 10 degrees or so cooler, but if you have small leaks, they will become bigger leaks. If you have a leak free motor, synthetic is fine.

PO of my car (in CA) was using BP 10w40. I switched to BP 20w50 when I did the first oil change after getting the car home. It seemed much happier and sounded much better with the 20w50.

I ran Rotella 15w40 for years (until they went to service spec CJ-4 and took out the ZDDP), then went to VR-1 20w50. My question is what's the latest recommendation(s) for the transaxle (I'm assuming it's still dino-oil) . . . .

Delo 400 is about the same as old RotellaT

Trany oil just get cheap dino and spend the coin saved (over expensive oils) on changing it every couple of years.

After a complete engine rebuild in 2013 Translog GT used Brad Penn for Break in Oil and after 500 Miles put SWEPCO 306 15W40 in mine. I've continued using the SWEPCO 306 with no issues at all.
