Apologies in advance for an oil thread, as this is a topic that usually garners much debate, but does anyone have thoughts on Mobil1 5w50 :?:
Whilst its a thicker viscosity than my Cayenne specifies, it does seem to carry Porsche A40 approval.
I guess I'm interested in knowing if the extra viscosity provides more of a safeguard against Cayenne engine scoring problems, let alone the advertised claims of benefits on higher mileage vehicles; less oil burning I assume?
I'm a litre down, so not sure if the service mechanic didn't fill it, or I've 'lost' it :dont know: , but I'm tempted to give it a go next oil change.
