Jason;

You might want to find out what the previous owner used. Mobil 1 is the factory fill. As far as things that you need to do it is best to speak to the shop that did your PPI. Ask them what they think needs to be done.

Congratulations - you have may years of enjoyment ahead. I recommend joining PCA and experiencing Driver's Education with your 930 under controlled track conditions.

What oil is in it now and what has been used in the past? Some would recommend not using a synthetic if the car has not been run on it in the past - there are reports that oil leaks can occur when changing from conventional oil to synthetic.

If you are going to use a synthetic, consult your owner's manual for the proper weight/viscosity. I recommend Mobil 1. Synthetics have better high temperature stability compared to conventional oils and therefore are well suited to turbos which tend to run hot.

I apologize if you already know this, but after hard use and extended periods under boost, make sure you let the car cool down for several minutes allowing oil to circulate through the turbo.
