Default classic oil from porsche

Take a look at Porsche usa web site under classic section. They have a new synthtic 10-60 that appears to be choice of Porsche. Its used in 911 SC up to 993. Older 911 get a 20-50 from Porsche.
Wonder if its re labled castrol 10-60. Any one used this yet??

Tring to call local dealer for pricing.

It is made by little German elves in the Schwartswald Forest.....it would have been a great deal but those damn elves have a union and realize they have to prop up the Euro.
Elf insurance is high too I understand.

Also note that the 'factory approved' recommendations for oil weight have now mysteriously changed.

they often get confused with dwarfs and end up getting tossed by ill mannered scotsmen.

In some parts (upper lowlands) giving a good friend a 'toss' is considered a compliment. Dwarf/Elf whatever.
