Changing the oil more often just because it doesn't have moly won't help matters.

Run lm oil and add ceratec

For those who can't get Driven, Millers, or an oil that has a good dose of moly, I'd say run the LM oil and add Ceratec.

Use ceratec at every oil

Suggestion

And two, ignore LM's instructions - you have to use Ceratec at every oil change as once the additive is gone, it's properties are gone too.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I cannot get anyone to deliver DT40 oil to my location. Either they won't, or the shipping cost is prohibitive. What are the recommended replacement oils? 2003 Carrera, 62K miles currently.

POST 2Original post

Jake Ruby suggested Millers Oil Nanodrive 5w-40 for European customers as DT40 is difficult to get in Europe. Not sure if that’s easier for you, but it’s an alternative.

POST 3Original post

In Oz I've found Motul 300V 5w-50 accessible and when I emailed Lake Speed Jr he responded he was positive about Motul.

If you are a Prime member, free delivery: Driven Racing Oil DT40 High Zinc Synthetic 5w-40 (6) https://a.co/d/07jtBloW

POST 5Original post

If you are in the US, fcpeuro delivers free if order is >$50. Not too hard to achieve buying dt 40.

POST 6Original post

Quotes source post: 20440977

What brands can you get or get delivered? Motul 300V, Millers Nano, LM?

POST 7Original post

There is no AutoZone where you are but there is a NAPA at 3165 N. Nimitz. They stock Liqui Moly Moly Gen 5w/40 in liter or 5 liter containers. It does not have as much Moly as DT product, so just change it more frequently. The Moly Gen has the advantage though that it glows under blacklight so you can trace any drips and know its engine oil. I'm no expert, but I use this in my 996.

POST 8Original post

I use Mobil1 5w50 together with Ceratec. Works ok on a car with >300k km (200k miles).

Changing the oil more often just because it doesn't have moly won't help matters. For those who can't get Driven, Millers, or an oil that has a good dose of moly, I'd say run the LM oil and add Ceratec. Just two things to mention - Ceratec will drop the viscosity a tad because it's thinner compared to the oil you are adding it to. And two, ignore LM's instructions - you have to use Ceratec at every oil change as once the additive is gone, it's properties are gone too.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Five days after ordering, I received my case of DT40. Shipping was $29 via FEDEX.
