Approved Oils for 2019?
Forgive me if this has been posted before, but does anyone have the approved oils list for 2019 (or 2018 for that matter)?
I'm preparing to do the first oil change on my 2019 GT3 RS and wanted to put in Motul. I've used 8100 X-Clean 5W-40 in the past on my GT3's, but I wanted to make sure it was 1) still good or 2) if there's anything better out there.
Thanks!

I've used 8100 X-Clean 5W-40 in past cars. I switched to Mobil 1 5w-50 and will use it in my current 991.2 GT3.

Hello All,
Indeed, 8100 X-cess 5W40 is approved by Porsche globally. It is a full SAPS product so it is more robust in its ad pack vs the mentioned X-clean 5W40, also a Porsche A40 approved product. The X-clean while being a very good high performing product, the X-cess will consistently show slightly better wear numbers. If you prefer a 0W40, we do have the Porsche A40 approved 0W40, the 8100 X-max 0W40, also a full SAPS product like the X-cess.
Most up to date approval letter (sorry for the size) on the X-cess- good through August 2020:

I always wondered what oil gt3 takes but that spec is meh
in europe vw 504/507 is standard, VAG uses Castrol longlife 3 from tdis to the r8, exact same bottle and no carbon buildup cause it's low saps
recently I took pics of a golf r engine USA vs Europe, in America they still use old *** oil compared to Europe
