What oil do you recommend for my 914 daily driver? I use Castrol GTX 10/40 but have seen some posts that you shouldn't use any multi-viscosity oil less than 20/50 because of lower oil pressure at idle that may cause a flickering oil pressure light. I've also heard some people who use straight 40 weight or even straight 50 weight oil. What weight and brand is best for good oil pressure?

Porsche will gladly sell you their ‘vintage’ 20-50 oil in nice metal cans. I used Castro’s GTX for years, but now you have to look carefully as the ZDDP levels have been reduced. Much like ethanol laced fuel, it’s not always good for our cars.
