Default Mobil OW-40/ 5W-20

So I ordered a few different things fron Suncoast Porsche recently including a couple quarts of Mobil OW-40 oil. However, when my package arrived it contained Mobil 5W-20 oil instead. Do you think it was just a mistake or has Porsche now started using 5W-20. My 991 is a 2014 if that makes a difference.Thanks in advance.

I think it was a mistake. The approved weights are still 0w40 and 5w40 as far as I know.

Must have thought you were driving a Prius Eco.

Mobil 1 5w50 change at the dealer today! (Brought my own). I'm lucky enough to have a very close friend who owns several napas, so it's always on sale for me!
