Engine oil question with a twist.
So, over here the temperature is 28-30 degree celcius at night and 34-36 in the day. (86-97 F)
I've been using Mobil 1's 5W-50 for the past year but I met someone who works on Porsche's a lot said I should switch to Shell Helix's 5W-40 because it's "thicker". He said the Mobil 1 oils are too thin for this climate.
Any advice on what oil I should be using?

Weight tells the viscosity not manufacturer.
