I switched to Brad Penn 20W50 this year. It's very good so far. Oil pressure and temp is very stable. I had few drips on occasion which have disappeared for now.

and OEM ?


i dont think so . Firstly i think you meant OE , as it says Porsche on it.


OEM means original equipment manufacturer. , and at least in the day when my car was manufactured Shell was the factory fill not Porsche . now i think it is Mobil one writing the big Cheques to Porsche , but i think that may have even changed.

^ Still Mobil but soon to change. Pen stroke business based on bottom line price. Today you're in and tomorrow you are out unless you drop your pants of course.

Dammit Laurance... you're not supposed to drink that stuff!!! How many times...

I know it costs about the same as cheap whiskey, so it may be confusing, but ya, not for human consumption... put it back in the garage.
