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.

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

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.

Castrol Edge Syn 5/40W is an acceptable substitute.

POST 10Original post

For what it's worth, I bought Mobil 1 at the Mercedes dealer recently, and the ESP was recommended.

Mobil 1 ESP 0w-40 is on the Porsche approved list. If you got this recommendation from the Mercedes dealer that's comforting. But if you got the Mobil 1 ESP 5w-40 oil you got that because the Mercedes dealer stocks that oil for its models.

POST 13Original post

Until the end of January, the Castrol Edge 5w-40 is on sale at Advance Auto , 2 for 1, so like $3.50 a QT. No brainer, IMHO. (or is it Autozone...can't remember now which one. I just go to the store!)
