dealer oil change
Any value in buying oil and providing for a dealer oil change?
I will get a my first oil change done this summer based on it being a year since my purchase and will likely get it done at my Atlanta Dealership so I didn't know if it made sense.
Also any suggestions on what weight i should get for Atlanta if I do take advantage of the deal? Sorry I am a novice and while I want to learn I am clueless to the more technical intricacies.

I hand carry Mobil 5W50 to my dealership with no issues. It's Porsche A40 approved, and a product they DON'T stock.
I think if you walked in with a product they DO stock, would be a little weird.

Out of curiosity why wouldn't they stock it? I thought Mobile 1 was the oil used by Porsche. What is the standard at the Porsche Dealerships? Is the Mobile 1 Synthetic superior to what they would use by default?
Thanks in advance!

Most dealerships have Mobil or Pennzoil in bulk and in only 0W40.
Ask your Service Advisor if you can provide your own oil. Ask out of courtesy. Pretty sure they'll be amiable.

People get all worked up about this stuff. Any top shelf stuff will be good, well maybe not the gas to oil Pennzoil junk. Anything from M1, Total, Castrol, Motul etc Will be fine. Change it regularly with a quality filter and call it a day. Going out of the way to purchase boutique oils to use in a modern car? Give me a break
FYI at the shop we use Total bulk and Castrol and Motul in jugs...
