Hi All,
I've been lurking on the forum for a few weeks now, and just bought my first porsche.
Against virtually everyone's advice I went for a 1984 Targa in black. Yes I know I know, a Targa and yes its leaking a little at the moment, but thats mainly because the roof frame is cracked (just bought another of ebay). But I took her out for her first spin without the roof on last week and god was I loving it! I don't think I could live without a Targa after that, its just fab being able to pop the roof off when the sun is out. I also happen to be lucky enough to live in a small town near St. Ives in Cornwall so the views are breathtaking in the sunshine.
Anyhow on to my question, looking at the history its not had an oil change for a while so figured i'd better crack on and do it. Does anyone here use 15w40? or is everyone 20w50? I'm asking because there seems to be a big price difference, locally I can get 5 litres of Castrol GTX 15w40 for about £17 but 20w50 is a lot more. Oh and I should add the car currently isn't leaking a single drop of oil, I guess I should expect leaks if I go for 15w40?
Thanks,
Jon
