Hey All,
Newbie to the forum and hoping for a little guidance if possible.
I've been having the issue described in the following thread with my 06 plate C4S, which has the official Porsche warranty:
https://www.6speedonline.com/forums...valve-lifters-knocking-after-run-session.html
I've asked my nearest OPC if they can change the oil to 5W50 as per a recommendation in the thread, but they're saying that official Porsche guidance is to use 0W40, thus they won't use anything else. I've told them that the manual states that 0W40, 5W40 or 5W50 can be used for temperatures above -25oC, but they're unmoved.
Given the car is covered by official Porsche warranty, I don't want to threaten that by using non approved oil, so not entirely sure how to proceed. Kind of want to do something as worried the knocking could cause future issues that appear when the warranty ends.
Anyone had any similar challenges or can see/knows something that I'm entirely missing?
Cheers!
