Sales Areas:

The respective sales area is also listed in order to clarify where the approved oils are available. Here are the meanings of the symbols shown.

Miscibility:

All engine oils approved by Porsche can be mixed provided they are of the same Porsche oil specification. This means that it is not necessary to

flush the engine when the oil is changed if another type of oil is used. However, since every brand of oil has a specially adapted unique

composition, the same brand and type of oil should be used for topping up between oil change intervals if possible.
