Rodneyr,

Don't you get it, if you don't use the engineered in Weissach stuff you are going to damage you car.

I recommend taking a look at Millers CFS NT oil. It's a Triple Ester Fully Synthetic using their "Nano" technology - see link below.

http://millersoils.biz/nano-technology.html

This is "State of the Art" lubricant from a small boutique UK Oil company which has been supplying to an un-named Formula One team.

I've no association with the company or product - but it's what's going in my machines from now on.

Designed for all 356, 914 and 911 models up to the 2.7-litre G-Model, Porsche recommends the multi-grade version with a viscosity of 20W-50. Available from your local dealer starting in April of 2014 you can learn more at Porsche Classic.

10W-60 For Air-Cooled 911 Models With 3.0 Liter Or Bigger Engines
Starting from the 3.0-litre engine with dry-sump lubrication, the flat-six engines of the 911 are more suited to fully synthetic oils. They allow air-cooled engines to reap all the benefits of technological advances in oils. Porsche Classic's 10W-60 version is an absolute ultra-high-performance oil. Its viscosity guarantees optimum lubrication behavior, both during cold starts and in a hot engine at full throttle. Also available starting in April more information is available at Porsche Classic.

Has anyone used this Porsche Classic stuff yet?

Porsche will have to convince me they have done their research and have come up with something actually better than what was already on the market. I don't buy that they aren't simply white labeling a product that was already available.

So for now, I will stick w brad penn. And not go to porsche.

Here's a question. If you take your classic porsche to a dealership to get your oil changed, does porsche use their own oil now? Or do they toss in the bulk Mobil 1 or whatever they used before that is less expensive for them? You would think if they believe their product to be better, that they would use it exclusively and then promote it to their customers as well.

Anyone wanna bet that the dealership doesn't crack one of those pretty cans open for an oil change? Ever.

It's rebranded Mobil 1 and more £££ for the privilege.

A Porsche Stuttgart chap told me that it was made by a local boutique oil firm close to HQ.

Interesting, I was told Mobil 1

I will buy one can for display in my garage. My engine will have the same as before.

It is not Mobil 1. I'm fairly certain that Porsche has Pentosin make it to their specs.

Goughary

Well , j know I'm harping, but until porsche shows me their research that says they have some proof that their oil is better for my car, I won't pay a premium. I'm happy to pay extra for my oil if I can reasonably see either a performance difference or if I have proof that under normal driving conditions i will not need to renew my top end for an extra 10-20k miles or or or...

But no way I am paying up over brad penn price for an unproven new oil that k don't trust. Btw, from a supplier that builds cars, not oil.

It would be like porsche offering special "RennWax" to make the finish of your vintage porsche come alive...for 50 dollars a can....And then you come to find out its turtlewax with some groovy vintage porschy graphics on the can...

RicardoD

When someone buys some of this oil, I would like your empty can to decorate my garage.

crg53

I think you may be out of luck. From what I have read on here, the only reason anyone would buy a can, is for its decorative appeal. I will get one myself for that exact purpose.
