Mobil 1 15w50 - I'll never use lower weight again (had 10-30 Mobil 1 in there and the oil pressure was uncomfortably low). I won't use anything else with all the controversy involved with what's legal to call "synthetic"...

Mobil 1 15W50. Did use the Mobil 1 10W30 in winter, but will no longer bother. The flow point on the synthetic is long enough for my winter treks to Wisconsin and Minnesota.

erm... valvoline durablend 10 w 30

though only for winter storage, as I want some good stuff like that thar mobil 1 when i get it out from the cold unrelenting clutches of the alaskan winter

what is the best weight for our 944 engines?

it seems most of you like the 15 w 50 - why?

someone mentioned oil pressure, is it possible my low ( idle between 1.5 and 2 bar pressure) oil pressure due to using the wrong weighted oil?!?!

Hilfst mir!
