Isn’t start up where most wear can happen? Isn’t 0-40 better for that? I am running 0-40 mobile 1. Soooo, Motul is a better option? What weight should I run?

I have not heard anything about the 9A1 engine and bore scoring. Charles Navarro hasn’t seen it either according to Panorama, March issue, page 90! Do you have pictures of the plug or a bore scope to share?
The first one we fixed was in 2011 - a 2009 C4S from Kuwait: https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...c3840b4a87.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...ddfac4bdc8.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...bf267b1a7d.jpg Sorry I don't have better pics - these were the ones the customer sent me years ago. |

I will never understand why Mobil 1 is constantly bashed and blamed at least partially for many of these Porsche engine maladies yet Porsche continues to use it as factory fill and has done so for over 20 years.
If it was truly as inferior as some believe then Porsche wouldn’t be using it period. |

So this is the best option, ok I gues I will try it at the next change.

One theory - I believe the main cause of bore scoring is due to DFI where the injector could be compromised and be spraying too much fuel...this causes the lubricated cylinder wall to be washed down and metal to metal wear occurs over time.

Mobil 1 is great for fuel economy and horsepower. It's hard to find an oil that will beat it in those two areas. That's two reasons why.

Can you please tell us about the new Driven Brands DI 40 Oil .
Thanks, Cman21 I liken the difference to the A40 M1 and C40 M1. The C40 is formulated to prevent LSPI and also has a higher HTHS viscosity, however that's where the similarity ends, as the C40 is designed as an emissions protection formula and by that token, can't be full SAPS. |

The label recommending Mobil-1 is not based on oil performance but how much the Exxon advertising department pays to have Porsche and other manufacturers put the label on their cars. Some owners believe Mobil-1 is the sacred cow of oils and use it despite there being a long list of Porsche approved oils by other manufacturers. Replaced engines under warranty is chump change compared to what Porsche gets paid by Exxon.

^^This. It's all about the $$$, not the performance. Mobil 1 has gone downhill, go back 10-12 years, they used better base stocks. Now it's just garbage. Castrol is superior to Mobil 1 these days.
One could just as easily say that Motul, Driven , Liqui Moly etc. etc. have their own marketing agenda and campaign to dethrone Mobil 1 in order to make room for their products in a somewhat cornered market. Porsche has placed it's reputation on Mobil 1 for decades and it's insane to think for a second that they would risk that for the sake of some kick back. As far as I know there is ZERO evidence that Mobil 1 is causing any early or abnormal engine wear in street driven vehicles and the speculation otherwise should be looked at with far greater scrutiny. |
