Dumb question since I never owned a 993, do they run full synthetic like Mobil 1.

No dumb questions here, only dumb answers.

Search the 993 Turbo Forum for "V-Twin". You'll learn a lot about good oil recommendations for the 993 Turbo.

Brad Penn 15-40, as recommended by NW Porsche guru Jeff Gamroth of Rothsport Racing. He did the 65,000 mile major service.

Thank you for that info. Are you the second or third owner of this car?

I am actually the fifth. The fourth had it for 10 years and it bounced around a bit early on. Fortunately all that owned it took excellent care of it.
