I don't claim to be an oil expert by any means even if I do tend to question other people's opinions on this matter in the many number of threads that proliferate all the forums. I only know what I've experienced and what my Porsche factory trained mechanic has found through 30+ years working on these cars and specialising on the front engine models. Google Bruce Buchanan / Buchanan Automotive (the Aussie one) and you will find some of Bruce's detailed replies on matters involving oils for these cars.
I'm not belittling H-Dust at all. He might be correct and I'm espousing 'old school' info. The only thing I'd say to that is the old addage of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". By this I don't imply that old is always better, more, that it's been shown to work very well in this matter. Bruce has opened up motors with over 300,000kms that have always run on VR1 or similar and they look brand new inside...or very close to it. Conversely, there was a stage in Sydney where the workshops were finding a real increase in top end wear and this was specifically due to the continued adoption of M1 after Mobil had lowered the level of ZDDP markedly without telling anyone. Sure, this may have been due to California pollution requirements but try telling that to some guy down here who has to pay for a partial or full rebuild...or the Workshops that paid for these motors.
Not sure if you're aware of a monumental oil thread on this forum. Well worth checking out....just allow yourself a couple of days...

Anyway, I'm sure there are some new oils that are very good for a street driven car. I'm even considering trying some of the new Nano-tech Millers racing oil myself.
Thanks for the compliment on the video. Gee that seems like a long time ago. A lot of money and time has passed since then. I hope to have some videos with the new car in the coming months that will
significantly raise the bar. ;-)
