 Oil weight, Does it makes that much of a difference? |

On my six, I was using joe Gibbs 10x40, I recently switched to Kendall titanium 20x50, with added zinc
For the first time I drive the car after the oil change and my temp surged 20 degrees higher. It was not even that hot today. Is it the oil weight or the type? Correction : Kendall titanium high performance 20-50 |

I spoke with both the Brad Penn folks and the folks from LN Engineering. Brad Penn is the old Kendall GT ( the green oil), and the Kendall Titanium name is now owned by Conoco Phillips, but is not the old Kendall GT. It seems that either Brad Penn or Joe Gibbs 20W-50 should do an excellent job on your 914 or 914-6. Not a lot of good press for the Porsche Oil (other than a real kick ass container!), and I was not able to find out who is producing it for Porsche.
