Hey guys. Just popped over from the 911 forum for the first time. I have a 2006 Boxster S and an '89 Carrera. I saw this old post on oils and wanted to add something I just heard on the 911 forum regarding oils.

We were discussing 911 oils when I mentioned my 2006 Boxster S. Some of the independent Porsche gurus over there said they wouldn't use M1 0W-40 in any Porsche.

Their choice, at least one of the shops, was Total 5W-40 as it was much better than M1. They also said never to use anything higher than 5W40 in vario cam engines. Ie- no 15W50, 20W50, etc.

Any comments?
