Picked up 3 cases at Napa on rt 46 west in saddle brook just past Walmart. Asked the guy what he had left and he laughed. He has more than a pallet left, or about 950 quarts.

I will look for an expiration, never thought about that. Anyone else check?

I've never been able to find 0w40w in the 5 gal. jugs at Walmart.

Walmart carries 5 quart bottles of 5w-40 Truck Diesel Synthetic M1 oil. It is not the same as regular M1 Synthetic and is not Porsche approved.

That's 'maximum'.

I don't think anyone here is going to wait five years to get around to using their stored oil. Even for drivers who have garage queens I think yearly oil changes are still the norm.

Let my 9-year old son change the oil in our 4Runner today. He did everything himself, I was rather proud. I've had him do most of the work before, but always got it all set up and handed him the tool- this time, I said "Here's the oil and the filter, don't use my 0W40. You know where the tools are, I want you to do it all by yourself." Not surprisingly, he was a little hesitant and kept asking me if he was doing the right nut, and hadn't yet learned those hard-life-lessons about dripping oil or hot engines, but did a really good job and I only had to help him a little. By this time next year, I think he might be able to do it all himself.

Shame the local auto hobby shop ($4/hr lifts!) won't let you in without a driver's license, or I'd have him help me change the oil on my Porsche, too...

Castrol 5W50 for the summer..... Stirring up trouble by keeping this oil thread alive.

My father owns an auto shop in Colorado (not for Porsches although he did rebuild an air-cooled 911 a few years ago) so when I told him about the oil I use in my car he responded by asking, "Why are you using oil so thin on that car that generates so much heat in the engine?" But I explained to him the variocam and that Porsche recommends it so he left it with an "Okay..."

I love oil threads!
