Oil

Col996s · 02-Oct-2013, 19:43

I know this has been covered a lot but here we go again. Sorry!

I am planning an oil change on my 996. I have a quantity of 10w/40. Is this the right oil to use. I must have bought it for this but it was a while ago.

Thanks

Please Colin, use 15W50 fully synthetic, such as Mobil 1 or Motul 300V. 10W40 is really too thin.

I would use nothing else.

Regards,

James

Thanks James. I must have got 10w40 from my Haynes manual. I just checked.

As James said. 15/50. The last lot I got was only £24 off ebay.
