I am SORRY, NEW HERE, I know oil topics grow old and repetitive. Just bought mine from Colorado and now in S Arizona where it's too hot to drive it in summer. Will drive mid Oct through end of May. Temperature lows can be 25 F and highs in those months 95. The owner in CO was using straight 30 weight, please give opinions, I know this issue is very opinionated but would still like to hear from you. Has 99,000 on the engine never rebuilt.

I use VR1 in my 914 and 944 because of the high zinc. Someone tried to tell me Redline oil has high zinc as well. I would hate to switch unless there is a very good reason. Anyone care to comment? Thank you very much.
