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.

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

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

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

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just got this list from the local dealer, apparently it's the latest (July 2015), and I thought it might be helpful to share it. (Before I contacted the dealer, I googled, and found lots of threads in various forums asking for the list, but they were all at least a few years old. I also searched the Porsche site, with no luck.) Apologies for the formatting - this is how it was sent to me. Note that if you try to open it in your browser, it might be unreadable. You probably need to download it. And there is something surprising. No 5w-50 oils. I'm 99% sure 5w-50 is one of the three grades approved for our cars. Edit: Except that there still is one - Mobile 1 as JayG and Ahsai point out below. So no strange or suprising change then. I can't change the title of this thread can I ... ? :-( Anyway, I hope the list will still be helpful.

POST 3Original post

Thanks for the list. The 5w-50 listings are still there under Mobil. Just search for "5w-50" in the doc.

Oops, I seem to have scanned it a bit too quickly!

POST 7Original post

No Phillips products on the list. Something tells me there's a cost to be borne to 'get on the list' from the vendors in question.

POST 8Original post

Does some one have an updated list of Porsche approved oils? Any recommendation about using 5W-50 in southern states with a non-turbo 996?

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
