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 haven’t seen a list newer than 2015. The one above was on the list, but the Motul rep who posts here said he preferred X-Cess in same weight. The 300V is supposedly even better, but not A40 certified.
for DIY, how many quarts of oil do you need to purchase?
I used 7 Liters in my last change (7.4 Quarts). Some oil comes in Liter size and some in Quarts. I'd buy 8 if Quarts (and maybe in Liters too - better to end up with extra than not enough).
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:
