I'm new to Porsche and still trying to learn my way around. I just bought my wife an '09 Cayenne V6 and am getting ready to do an oil change. The manual says 0w-30 and 0w-40 are acceptable for the V6 and I don't remember reading any specific requirements on the oil. I've been searching online all morning trying to find the answer to my question but haven't found it yet.

I bought Mobil 1 0w-30 because they didn't have enough 0w-40 on the shelf. Everything I've found online only pertains to the S and Turbo model where 0w-40 is required. Will the Mobil 1 0w-30 be ok to run in my V6?

Also, where is the best place to get oil filters? I see Suncoast is popular but is there anywhere else online that is better?

Thanks for your help. I'm coming from the BMW world so I don't know the popular sites Porsche owners use yet.

Mobil 1 5W-30 is specified for the V6, but 0W-30 should be fine.

ECS Tuning

We have a wide variety of oil filter cartridges available for purchase!

Thanks!

Why are there multiple listings for the same brands of oil filters on the ECS tuning website? I see two Mahle oil filters with different part # and prices, three Bosch oil filters with different part #s, etc.

I personally don't care for 0 weight oils unless you are in very, very cold climate, I stick with the 5 weight oils at least. In my V8 "S" I use 5w40 (which is an acceptable option per the manual).

We had duplicate listings on our website that we are currently going thru and cleaning up. Thank you for the feedback.

Aside from cold climate purposes, using 0-weight oil allows for better fuel economy; although I'm sure it's not that substantial. Given the horrible mpg ratings of the Cayenne V8, anything could help.
