Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I understand 0W-40 is the recommended oil but Opie Oils also brings up 5W-40 (for a lot less).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, Plan on doing an interim oil change on my 997.2 S and just wondered what others are using in regards to oil types? I understand 0W-40 is the recommended oil but Opie Oils also brings up 5W-40 (for a lot less). Mobil Super 3000 X1 5W-40 Premium Fully Synthetic Engine Oil (£64 for a full change) Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 Advanced Fully Synthetic Engine Oil (£96 for a full change) Car is used for weekend road driving only and no track work (yet). I understand this will probably open a can of worms

POST 2Original post

5w40 is a good choice imo for 997’s at this point as they’re a bit older now. I’ve used the Mobil super 3000 previously, but I put Millers NT+ now in the RS. It’s a proper tri-ester oil and it’s also made in Britain!

POST 3Original post

When I had my 997.2 with 50k miles I used the Mobil 3000 you have listed. Mine consumed a bit of oil so that was recommended to me.

Yes, there's a Porsche specialist who will only use Millers CFS NT+ I can't remember their name, but they're well known for rebuilding bore scored engines.

Thanks guys that's really helpful.

SlimJim16v said: Yes, there's a Porsche specialist who will only use Millers CFS NT+ I can't remember their name, but they're well known for rebuilding bore scored engines. It's Hartech. I've stuck 10w-50 NT+ in my 94k 997.2. It seems to be consumed less than the 0w-40 Mobil 1.
