Default Oil and filter recommendations?

Just bought a 2016 Cayenne 3.0L and want to drain the oil and get a nice filter so that the engine lasts and prevents debris from entering. I can do it myself to save some money plus I have time on my hands. I looked up some different fluids than the same ole stuff you see at any auto store and found these to be interesting....

https://www.searchforparts.com/oil-c...cayenne-3.0l-e

and
https://www.redlineoil.com/euro-series-5w30-motor-oil

never heard of either one but they seem good, also never heard of a Mann Filter. Or maybe you can suggest something else? I am definitely not going to a quick lube place for Valvoline oil and the dealer can be costly for any service.

thank you
Mark.

Biased reviews, you use what you want.

Personally it's been Motul/Total/Liqui-Moly oils in 5w30 weight meeting either Porsche C30 or VW 507.00 spec. Mahle filters are OEM, but there's nothing wrong with Mann filters.

Usually I buy from rmeuropean.com or autohausaz.com as I've done business with them in the past and get my stuff within one or two days.

looking for "OEM" or aftermarket parts, oil? consider
https://www.ecstuning.com/
or
https://www.pelicanparts.com/
free shipping usually with a min order
but usually sales tax
I actually pickup my oil from ECStuning & have purchased from them for years for various autos

looking "genuine Porsche" or VW (it's the freaking same part with a different label
check out these guys
https://www.suncoastparts.com/
no tax outside of FL but they do charge you shipping

all three businesses get my money for different reasons

I’ve used the C30 Motul and Pennzoil with good results. I posted the oil analysis from both oils on this forum. Both came out okay.

I use Motul 8100 x-clean+ which is Porsche C30 approved and Mann or Mahle filters. rmeuropean.com has the Motul 8100 x-clean+ for $38.67 for 5 liters. Free shipping over $99. Mahle oil filters are $12.17. Excellent prices and service.https://rennlist.com/forums/cayenne-...html#qrcontent

Fcpeuropean sells kits that come with oil, filter and plugs for around 100 (for turbo which is two 5l jugs included)

OP is asking specifically for diesel.

If you're using this on a diesel STOP! Doesn't meet C30 specifications, and is meant for diesel's without DPF systems.

Oops! Sorry, OP. Didn't read fully. Morning/Friday brain doesn't like to its job. Ignore this
