from the folks who brought you IMS failures
I just love when people bash DT 40 because it wasnt made by mobil or porsche even though Porsche claims there is no issues with the IMS for years! I love when people say who knows porsche better than the manufacturer.

Ever try Shell synthetic 5W-40 that are used in commercial diesel trucks? They come in 4 liter jugs at the auto store.

I stick with M1, but basically any synthetic of the correct grade from a major manufacturer will do you just fine.

No it's not a Auto Zone purchase, buy it fro LNE or Joe Gibbs Racing. $130 a case.
