Thanks for reply, so is the Mobil 1 not recommend by you guys?
Looks like Fuchs titan race 5w30 it is then.
Topics like this just run and run, but it's all good as it's what forums are for Below is a cut 'n paste from another forum... And yes, Mobil 1 is currently 20% off at Halfords but still works out cheaper if you use their trade card instead.
Hi Ian
To be honest, while it's under warranty, there isn't really anything better than the Mobil 1 0w-40.

When it's out of warranty, one of the ester based 5w-40 synthetics will be a better option, but for now the Mobil is as good as anything (although the Fuchs GT1 is just as good an oil and cheaper at the moment).

OPIE OILS
From all the evidence on here and elsewhere, Opie are a real authority on oils. If they recommend Mobil 1, then I think it's fair to say there's nothing much wrong with it. I'd also assume Porsche know enough about their own cars not to recommend an oil that will damage the engines. They'd have to be really dumber than dumb to do that.
Had a feeling this would be one of those subjects like "Which Tyres to buy?"
Probably go with the Fuchs, for probably nothing more than psychological sanity as no one seems to have anything bad to say on it!
So far anyway!
