I seem to have ignited the honor/ignore the warranty requirements discussions here. I should have known better having been on automotive social media sites for almost 20 years. Was hoping that BITOG would be a little less rambunctious but seems I was wrong. I got the info I wanted. But again...

You do your thing your way. I will do my things my way as I have for over a half century. Haven't lost an engine yet.

Good info. But my take away is, like Amsoil it "meets or exceeds" but not truly "approved". So once I am out of warranty in 4 years, assuming I live that much longer, I will give them a try.

I have looked hi and low on your website for this info. Basically, does HPL have a 0W-20 oil that is Porsche C20 approved? I have a new Macan that will be under warranty for 4 years and cant take the chance of using a non approved oil. Thank You

I'm at 36 months on my synthetic filled car since I am averaging only 800 miles per year on that car.

Thanks for the thoughts. I edited my OP to indicate I get the oil up to ~200℉ and both cars have oil temperature gauges. Also, neither one is GDI.

I have two "play" cars that have only accumulated about 1000 miles each in the last year due to the pandemic. I have been driving them at least once a week to get them to normal oil operating temperatures which has been ~200℉ give or take. It seems to be that with so little miles and assuring I...

Thanks all for the opinions. They matched my feelings but it's always nice to get confirmation.

I have 7 QT's of Mobil1 0W-40 Euro formula, the new FS stuff, oil left over. I intend to use the oil in my 2012 LS3 Vette. It is not driven hard and only gets about 2500 miles per year and no HARD driving. Issues? 1. It's obviously out of warranty 2. Only has 14,000 total miles 3. Live in S...

1 Year or 10K miles, using full synthetic on all cars.

There is no warranty on the car.

It has been a long time since I have visited so I am behind on my info. I also get poor results when I try and search so figure this could get me better answers, sooner. I have some leftover Mobil1 0W-40 European formula, the new stuff that has FS on the label. I would like to know if I can use...

Having owned a 2005, and 2008 C6 and a 2008 Z06, I would run either the Amsoil signature series oil or the Mobil1 0W-40 oil. Either one should be great for your usage.
