I use Mobil 1 ESP X2.
Available at Walmart.
It is approved by Mercedes and VW, it also meets the BMW requirement but is not approved by them.
I just go to Walmart and buy the big jug of mobile 1 high mileage engine oil and the most expensive oil filter I can find and just do the oil change in my driveway.
I use the Mobil 1 just like the sticker Porsche put on your car…
I've tried various combinations that include the mix of m1 5-40 with 5-50 but have now for many years kept it simpler w/ Mobil 1 5-50 every five thousand miles. It purrs as one would expect from a 195,000 mile 996 Turbo.
My Saab (2003 9-5 Arc Wagon 3.0 turbo) has a sticker that says Mobil 1
Penzoil the best!
I use Pennzoil platinum euro because its dirt cheap from walmart and meets all specs. 135,xxx kms so far on the same oil.
To be honest, the mobil 1 ESP 0w-20 is a fantastic oil and meets those specs and is at walmart for $8/qt
I found Mobil 1 0W-40 to allow a lot more timing chain and lifter noise, especially at startup but even after, then switched to Castrol Edge 5W-40 and the noise suddenly wasn't there. I've used it ever since.
You should stop using Mobil 1 oil period. Their oil is dog shit when it comes to wear protection, cold flow, burn point, and more.
