Porsche isn't using New Life 0W-40 anymore?
Two different oils with two different approvals. The 0w-40 has A40, the 5w-30 has C30.
Porsche isn't using New Life 0W-40 anymore?
so, any oil that's modern and of correct grade will work?
will any oil be less likely to have issues with the carbon build up on DI engines?
or stay the course with 5/30 of whatevers on sale?
Thanks guys. I'll admit to not being an expert on most of this stuff and come here as a source of knowledge, so I really appreciate the recommendations. I'm aware that a lot of the recommendations in the US are based on meeting CAFE standards, and I was pretty sure that was the case for my car as well. I'm inclined to bump up the viscosity a bit in the summer. It's been over 110 degrees 50 days so far this summer, so no joke. Leaning towards sticking with Mobil1 0W-20 EP most of the year and 5W-30 during summer. How's M1 5W-30 EP? I should have mentioned that I was able to stockpile a bunch of Honda A01 Filtech filters before they became unavailable, so I'm set there for a while. Is the consensus to keep the OCI closer to 5k on this motor?
