10w-40 Castrol Edge in 2005 Porsche Cayenne Turbo

[gophaster]

Hi Guys,

My first post so......Hello everyone

I believe that the Castrol Edge 5w-40 is on the Porsche Approved oils list. I have several quarts of Castrol Edge in 10w-40. I live in South Florida (Miami to be exact) and I recently purchased a 05 Cayenne Turbo with 85K Miles (runs fantastic!).

Since I am in Miami and the SUV will never see temps colder than say 35 degrees F is it OK to go with the 10w-40 instead of the 5w-40 that Porsche calls for? I have about 30 quarts of the 10w-40 Edge but I am willing to buy the 5w-40 if there is any down side to doing this. I want this engine to live a very long and happy life as it has up to now.

Thanks!!!!

It will be OK only if you want to use it.

No worries.

Yes. Its fine.

Likewise, I too purchased 15 quarts of oil this summer. 8 were 10w30 and 7 were 5w30. Guess which noe went in in the summer? Thats right.. the 10w30.

With two straight weeks of 100+ degrees and the rest of the summer 90 and up, it was fine. You are in South Florida, so, go for it.

Welcome to BITOG!

Yes, 10w-40 will be just fine. Use it without any worries.

Is it an ACEA A3 rated oil? If not, that is flag #1 that would make me not use it (besides the fact that it likely doesnt carry the Porsche rating).

What specs does it carry?

It's an ACEA A3/B4 oil. It'll be fine, IMO.

Sump is what 9 quarts? How many quarts is several? 3 0r 4? Sounds like you will need to buy the 5w-40 anyways.

You might have a little better class of response over in the european side of the forums. They might even read ALL of the message and cognate a useful suggestion.

Settle down there...several and 30 are nowhere near the same. [censored] I made a mistake I love the Internet brave...how's this- no run what I do in our Cayenne m1 0w-40 or castrol 5w-40. And other than being out of line with me where is your value added post? Go be a jerk-off somewhere else.
