If you use Amsoil's oil finder for a Porsche 96 993 non-turbo, you end up here:http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-produc...?code=EFMQT-EA
which by their own description is for : "European Car Formula 5W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil
Full-SAPS European Oil for European Gasoline and Diesel Engines
Formulated for the lubrication needs of European gasoline and diesel cars and light trucks. Its full sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur (SAPS) formulation provides excellent protection and performance for a wide range of vehicles. "
If you look further you will come across this page: http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-produc...tic-motor-oil/
For "high performance European Vehicles"
"European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil
Low-SAPS, Low-Viscosity European Oil for European Gasoline and Diesel Engines
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Low-SAPS Synthetic Motor Oil provides exceptional performance and protection for high-performance European vehicles. Its low-viscosity formulation maximizes fuel efficiency. "
so I guess Amsoil's expert's do not consider Porsches to be High Performance.
Or maybe my 993 is considered a light truck. WOW, I learn something new on Rennlist everyday.

Last couple of start ups I get a puff of smoke out the right exhaust. Recently changed oil, using AMSOIL 5W40 WHICH IS 993 SPEC FOR THIS CAR. Any ideas as to cause? I know sometimes it is a temporary condition. The car sits weeks at a time and is driven only about 2,000 miles a year.Have not noticed this before.No power loss and car runs great. I did add a bottle of chevron injector cleaner a couple tank fulls ago. Appreciate the help. Yes guys I tried the search function. Thanks.

Some might say that since you're an Amsoil dealer and since you're using ALL CAPS to talk about Amsoil, you could be using the forum to promote your business, something that would require a Rennlist sponsorship. I know, I know; of course you're not trying to sell anything. We've heard it a hundred times before.

However, I must say that we have become much better at it lately. It's down to 5-6 pages before the thread is closed/locked.
