    Amsoil for a Porsche?

    Hello everyone I've been a loyal Amsoil user for several years. My father just purchased himself a 2000 Boxster with the 2.7 6cyl engine and I always order oil for his vehicles. I've searched and seen a few postings on how the Amsoil 5w40 euro-spec oil definitely isn't the best oil they make...
