Why Oil Change is Important

Like any other engine, Porsche engines rely on motor oil to cool, lubricate, and protect their many moving parts. However, Porsche engines are engineered to a higher standard and require the best oil to keep up with their high performance demands.

Oil changes are important because engine oil loses its lubrication and cooling abilities as it’s continuously exposed to high temperatures inside your engine. Failing to change out your oil on a timely basis can lead to reduced engine performance, lower fuel economy, and even premature engine failure.

What Kind of Oil Does My Porsche Use?

Your Porsche is designed to run on full synthetic oil, which offers the highest level of protection against friction, heat, and breakdown. While there are a variety of oil types, it’s important that your Porsche only uses full synthetic.

Conventional oil is not compatible with Porsche engines because conventional oil will break down and lose its lubricating and protective abilities once it reaches 275ºF. However, the oil inside of a turbocharged engine, like many Porsche vehicles, can reach 400ºF.

Another type of oil that independent mechanics may use is synthetic blend oil. This type of oil is typically used for high mileage vehicles because its a conventional oil base, but it also uses synthetic ingredients like sealants to deal with issues commonly found in high mileage engines.

This oil is also not recommended for Porsche vehicles because it contains a conventional oil base, which not only won’t keep up with your engine’s demands.
