The only leaks my '84 3.2 has had over my 7 years of ownership is when the pressure sender failed. Other than that, it's totally dry and drip free. Doesn't smoke at all.

So I couldn't use either of those criteria to tell if one oil was better than another. Car had Mobil 1 15W-50 when I bought it, I changed shortly to 20W-50 Brad Penn and noticed no difference at all. Later I switched to VR-1 because it was easily available locally, and noticed quieter valve noise immediately. I've been on VR-1 since.

Curious to hear other comments about the Porsche Classic oil, though.
