Quaker State 20w-50
Hi.
Just wondering if anybody use this motor-oil in a 993 Turbo ?
Belive it`s a nice oil for aircooled Porsches, but is it recomended for turbo-engines to ?
(Drive my car only in the summer,never below 0 Celsius)

Hi Kurt, I believe the consensus among many turbo owners is to use synthetic or a blend of synthetics oils for turbo engines. The non synthetic oils just coke the very hot turbines and will get you into lubrication trouble very fast. Stick with a quality synthetic oil and leave the non synthetics for non turbo engines.

No offense intended, but I wouldn't put Quaker State in my lawn mower

Thanks for your input.
Have not used a synthetic oil at all in my car and the previus owner didn`t either.
Done lots of trackdays and no issues so far. Last 9 years the car have been fillled with Valvoline 15W-40 mineral oil. Just some problems with that famous oil filter....
Maybe I have been lucky or maybe it just work with this Valvoline mineral oil !
Haven`t heard anything bad about the Quaker State oil, but thats me.
