What oil should I put in? Called the service department at the dealer several times and left messages, but nobody has called me back yet.

And find a new dealer.

Only add about 200ml at a time between drive cycles, till you get it where you want it on the gauge (oil hot-hot, engine off, wait about 2 minutes, take a reading). You don't want to over fill. Each bar is about 340 ml. Yes, Mobil 0W40. There's a big sticker by the right side engine fan that says the same.

Mine came with Mobil-1 0W-40 European Formula.

Use anything on this list you want.

Brand preference is like chocolate vs vanilla.

I like Pennzoil Ultra Euro 5w40 - for cleaner pistons.

I agree. I'd say "use anything on the list" for an actual oil change.

But I'd go further and say; for topping up, don't mix brands and viscosities. Use the same oil as you filled with. Some oil's additive packages really fight each other.

Ya know, Porsche has this really funny little thing called an OWNER's MANUAL, and believe it or not, its right in the car! They put it in the glovebox for you and it tells you all about these things. And, if its missing, you can raise up the rear decklid with that little switch on the driver's left side that looks like a trunk lid and when you do you will see THIS....

I know that it's against the male instinct to read a manual, but ask stupid questions here and put on your flame suit!

I'll use Mobile 1, probably 5w40.... the list has three variations. Also, all the Mobile 1 listings are expired. Is there a later list?

OMG no wonder people are so neurotic about oil! The same motor oil that used to be good for decades upon decades now is defined by this Porsche pdf as being "valid" for two to three years. Strangely for a company so precise as this the validity is somewhere "between 2 and 3 years." We don't know where. But its there. And somewhere in there your "approval" is no longer "valid" and your oil no longer "allocated" (as I always suspected, its not only cars they love to "allocate") "and the approval in question is revoked unless an extension is requested by the relevant manufacturer."

The kicker is, after all this comes a list of pretty darn near every motor oil ever made! Sorry! Made in the last two to three years! Or longer, if the "relevant manufacturer" requested an extension…..

And so, in other words, when your motor is low on oil you add…. motor oil.
