I have a strong feeling that A40 oil is also going to be just fine as well.
For C40 available in the US (Motul 8100 X-clean Gen2):
Amazon:
Pelican Parts:
(1L) - https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/109761.htm
(5L) - https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/109762.htm
Liqui Moly 4110 Top Tec:
Pelican Parts:
(5L) - https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_In...pn=22122-M1458
I just ordered 1L from Amazon because my sensor is telling me I'm at the minimum oil level and need to top up.

The manual specifies C40 oil - so use C40 oil.

So oil consumption to the point that you need to top up, can I ask how many miles on the car now, mine has just over 2100 miles and is one bar above the minimum now.... soon it will need oil as well.

Now that I'm thinking about it - should have ordered 2x1L but oh well....

Edit: Sorry, never mind, read more of the thread and looks as though it may be different. @Mercuriell dealers oil/pic is what I have though, Mobile 1 Dexos 2 0W-40.

Looks like it has to be ESP "X3" 0W-40 since its mentions on Mobils website that it's C40 approved. Regular doesn't mention c40

In both of your links under approved oils it has Dexos 2 listed. The X3 oil says Dexos 2 along with Porsche C40 and MB etc. If the bottle says Dexos 2 would that not mean it is approved then for Porsche’s C40 requirement? What I’m confused by is that I can’t imagine one bottle labeled Dexos 2 is only approved for A40 spec and than another is approved for C40 spec. I’m sure I’m missing something, insomnia is a wonderful thing.

I would think Mobil1 needs to differentiate their packaging much better than to avoid this confusion.

So here is my oil. It doesn't say on the back what it is certified to, but my guess is the A40 spec. It is extremely poor of Mobil1 to say the least, to have two identically labeled products on the front of the bottle that meet two different specs. Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, rant over.
