Great oil. I run it in everything, including GT3's, turbo Carrera's, VAG 2.0's, etc. Currently just changed my Carrera T with Motul x Max 0-40 because I wasn't seeing much 5-40 available when I ordered, possibly because of the switch to the gen 2, which I haven't tried yet. Big fan of Motul.

My experience
I have two observations in my 991.1 GTS using Motul X-Cess 5W-40 compared to factory Mobil 1. First, upon cold start-up using Mobil 1 there was quite a bit of engine clatter until it reached operating temperature. Porsche service claimed this was normal. The Motul eliminated the clatter. Second, after a big, hard run using Mobil 1, I would check oil level in my garage and noticed more often than not it required a top up. Under the same conditions, the Motul has never required top up. Just my two cents from So. Cal. running the Angeles Crest.

Yeah, like I said in my posts 3 months ago. It contains no Molyb. as far as I know, not sure why. Without reviewing my UOA's I would have said its is fine as well, engine runs fairly quiet and does not burn this oil that readily, but the wear metals are disappointing at least for me. YMMV.

I will pull a blackstone report once i do an oil change and make my decision based on wear items.

For those stating that Amazon sends fake oil what’s your proof?

Ill try to dig it up, the viscosity numbers were below spec similar to what we see with M1 0W-40.
The car itself seems to run good, wear metals look ok, doesn't burn any oil or anything like that.

My 987.2 has had nothing but Motul 5w 40 8100 X-cess for 6 years now. I have not had a UOA done but I can tell you 2 things. First and foremost my car doesn’t burn one drop of oil in between changes. Secondly, I have had zero drop off in performance in the same span of time. At least that’s what my @ss tells me. No mechanical issues either.
