Just startet to make a trend on my car, 3 Different Oils, Biltema is from a quite large company operating over here in Scandinavia, and they specialise in "cheap" car DIY items, it have all the approvals API SN, ACEA A3/B4, Porsche A40, they buy the oil from a large provider in the UK, the blue Colum is a VOA of Biltema, i just wanted to make a statement that you can use any shelf syntetic as long you make sure it have all the approvals.

2005 Porsche 911 997 3.8 litre watercooled 80000 miles clocked

Mobil 1 0W-40: 3800 miles
Royal Purple HPS 10W-40: 3000 miles
Biltema 5W-40: 6000 miles

I now uses Valvoline Synpower 5W-40, it will be interesting to compare, i will make New UOA at 5000 miles

Any comments People?

Are you saying they buy for example BP/Castrol or Shell oil that meets these specs and then put it in their own labeled bottles?

The reason I ask is that Biltema claims having MB 229.5 approval, but it is not on Mercedes' officially approved list. Anyway, no biggie. I'm nitpicking here.
 
From what I can make out on their website it says it "meets" VW 502.00 and 505.00 but it isn't on the Audi list either. It also says API, but as far as I can find it isn't on their list.

Well, they buy oil from a large oil-provider in the UK, but they keep the provider Secret, some of us in the car comunity here in Norway belive they buy from a Company called Tetrosyl, they used to buy oil from the large Oil-Company here in Norway called "Statoil" but in the recent years they have switched provider

Oil capacity factory: 9 qt

Oil capacity With "sump spacer" : 9,5 qt

It is wet sump, but i have made the sump a little deeper With a "deep-sump" spacer, that rise the oil quantity by 0,52 quarts, to make more circulation and cooling. The older Porsche 911 cars had what is known as a dry-sump oiling system. This meant that excess oil from the engine was removed (scavenged) from the bottom of the sump and stored in a separate oil tank. With a dry-sump system, a significant quantity of oil (approximately 12 quarts) is available to be supplied to the engine at all times.

With a wet-sump system, the oil is stored in an area below the engine. A traditional wet sump, similar to the one used on the Porsche Boxster engine, doesn't hold as much oil as a dry sump and also may suffer from scavenging issues when the car corners and oil is sloshed from one side of the sump to the other.
As a result of the lower oil capacity of the wet-sump design, it's possible that the 911 Carrera engine may exhibit oil scavenge problems under high-performance track driving. The engine is not likely to see these types of forces when driving on the street. One solution to help the problem is to lower the sump and increase its capacity. A deep-sump kit extends the bottom of the engine and adds about a half a quart to the total capacity. That half quart may be just what you need in order to save your engine if your 911 is experiencing high g-forces on the racetrack.

And i have removed the Stock insert oil filter, With a "spin on" oil filter adapter, and i use Royal Purple oil filter

The problem is that if it is relabeled, regardless of what anyone thinks it is or what it may or may not be, the certifications do not transfer. From what I can see that oil carries no actual certifications unless Google is translating it wrong.

Yes, that's the one I saw. It translates as "meets" which isn't (at least in English) the word that is used when an oil actually carries a licensed specification. That with the fact that it does not appear on lists by the manufacturer prompted my question. It doesn't appear to actually have any of the specifications listed, only "suitable for" or "meets".
 
Well, i see Your concern, anyway this was just a "high" risk test on a standard shelf syntetic, i will never use that oil again, my future tests will be With the Valvoline Synpower 5W-40, and that will be the only oil used in the future, Royal Purple be to expensive, Mobil 1 rise my oil consumption too much i think

I will post my results later
