996tt oil change

[dougg996]

Hi Loren

I note in your oil change tutorial for the 996tt you list the range of recommended oils in north America as follows:

Castrol Syntec 5W-50 5W-50 ncp G
Castrol Syntec 5W-40 5W-40 ncp GL
Mobil 1 0W-40 ncp GL (factory fill)
Mobil 1 5W-40 ncp GL
Mobil 1 5W-50 ncp GL
Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic Formula 0W-40 ncp GL
Texaco Havoline Synthetic 5W-40 ncp GL

Here in Australia Castrol produce a 0w-40 product in their 'Edge' series of oils. Given that the 'factory fill' oil is a 0w-40 product from Mobil, would it not be a better choice than the 5w-50 or 5w-40 oils?

thanks
