A good question would be where can you guys find this stuff. Neither my local Kragens or Walmart has the 15-50 Mobile 1.

Used oil analysis is the only way to determine whether or not an oil is doing it's job. I have done extensive testing and found that a 15w40 such as Chevron Delo or Shell Rotella T gave the best wear rates of regular dino oil. M1 0w40 or Redline 5w40 would be tops for the 993. Higher viscsoity oils are not recommended by Porsche and the top end can suffer if it is used.
