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.

I would stick to what Porsche recommends. Probably Mobil 1 I guess. Oil additives vary between manufacturers. Not worth taking the risk to save a couple of £'s on an oil change
POST 3Original post
Buy another 3 litres of both and have enough for your next two oil changes - though strictly speaking both oils are miscible and they do both appear in the approval listing for your model.
