I used mobile 1 OW40...didn't work out too great for me...
Based on the fire damage, it seems to me that the problem was triggered when you forgot that the engine was in the back and poured all that oil in the frunk
Is there any difference between the OEM Porsche oil filter and aftermarket one's? Just to open that can of worms
Yes there is. The Porsche Oil Filter, filters oil down to 0.1 microns where the after market brands filter to only 0.5 microns. This filtration affects the viscosity of the oil in your engine and can increase thermal break down of the pistons. Typically, this wear is seen with engines as they pass 500,000 miles. You can mitigate this by adding Unicorn Semen to a multi blend of oil. Typically this blend is 20/40/50. Yes, that's 110% of Mobile 1, Joe Gibbs and Motul. So, to make things simpler, buy the Porsche brand filter if you intend to drive more than 500,000 miles.
