Engine oils for Porsche
Although Porsche belongs to the VW group, the manufacturer does not use the current VW standards for the release of engine oils, but assigns its own specifications. Since the Porsche models have a powerful engine, own standards became necessary. Basically, a distinction is only made between the Porsche standard A40 (primarily for petrol engines) and C30 (primarily for diesel engines). With our Oilfinder you can check exactly which oil is suitable for your Porsche. Engine oils from ADDINOL offer excellent wear and corrosion protection. They reduce fuel consumption and guarantee a long engine life.
Which ADDINOL engine oil is the best for my Porsche?
In our approval list for Porsche you will find all ADDINOL products that you can use without any problems. Only fill your Porsche with engine oil that meets the requirements of the operating instructions. This means that Porsche's manufacturer's warranty remains unaffected. The current Porsche models have a Longlife character, which increases the oil change intervals to 30,000 kilometres or two years.
