Only side effect I can see compared to my previous Mobil 1 0w40 is that my oil pressure runs a little higher when cold but the oil fits within the Porsche recommendation, is relatively easily available (for me) and has the backing of a good company behind it.

JMHO, but based on experience thats the best advice in this thread.
The current M1 15/50 offering is nothing like the older API/SG stuff and for that reason, we recommend the V-Twin 20w-50 oil for owners with air-cooled engines who wish to use an M1 product. Its good stuff.
