Many are using the wrong oil brand/weight
After reading the diatribes about which brand and what weight oil for the 99 Carrera, I called my mechanic who told me 0-40 Total oil is what they use, but the repair invoices that the customer gets including me say Mobil One, I had enough.
I placed a call to Porsche North America for the correct answer, which I already knew, just wanted some credible confirmation.
The correct oil is sold by dealers, and others, called Porsche Classic Oil, 5W-50 for the climate I am in here in Riverside.
Tell your friends, not your enemies. I have no further comment.

I totally changed my position on so called A40 Oil Recommendations by Porsche and the M96 engine. I no longer bow to the holy sticker under the deck lid!

You all know I found a secret source for my rides special fluids.
A40 is a minimum standard and my source far exceeds these low marks.
As soon as the patent is issued I am told that the "developer" will make this public.
Until then you have to know a guy that knows a guy with the secret handshake to get in the club.Sorry, I cant reveal the source.
Until then, use the most expensive fluids you can afford.

I'm also on some Landcruiser forums, and what I love is that oil is never a topic.
For those who like the diametric opposite, there is bobistheoilguy,com
Run whatever oil makes you happy.
Peace, out.
