Milt, Charles Navarro (LN Engineering and Jake Raby (Flat Six Innovations) both feel Mobil 1 0W40 is crap (way too thin and breaks down easily).

10W40 or even 15W50 is highly recommended in flavors other than M1.

I use Royal Purple 10W40 and could care less if it's on the "approved list"...I want my engine to last. I also change my oil once a year, which for equates to about 3000 miles; but 5 to 6k miles is recommended over the extended change intervals.

Please check out both Charle's and Jake's websites for good Boxster (M96 engine) advice.
