The old 911 needs the heavier M1 - 15W50 preferably. 0W40 works for '90-present but before that the tolerances are just not tight enough. The M1 website recommends 0W40 for all the Porsches regardless of year.

   Let meknow if you have any questions or comments -

I still run dino juice in all the cars, but after reading several of your
posts on it, and checking out the Mobil 1 site, and starting to think about synthetic. I'm pretty sure I'll get the E300 gasser and the site calls for 0W-30, pretty much year round. Also the old 911 should take 0W-40 according
to the site.

Any thoughts on the oil and weight for the E300? The car has 320,000 kms on
it.

Thanks,
Ed

I know you all hate oil threads but sorry I just have to pass this on.
I was at Costco today and they had M1 15W-50 on the shelf. $30 for 6
quart boxes. This was the recently re-released non-extended life stuff.
