Hello all

I recently purchased 2 cases of AGIP SINT 2000 10w-40 for an oil change in the lambo. Now having just bought my car i wanted to throw some fresh oil in along with an oil filter to play it safe. What do you all think about using this oil i have i case left over (12 quarts) and i dont just want to have oil sitting around getting old, rather put it to use. Obviously dont want to harm the engine which is why i am asking the question before doing anything.

Thanks

Alex M

Good Point!

One question for you, Am i correct in thinking that if it was SINT 2000 5w-40 instead then it could be used?

Thanks

It is on the "no longer approved" list as it is considered no longer available.

Perhaps some dealer or shop will trade?

Does this apply to Mobil1? the list I checked says 10W40 is approved for warmer climates (i'm in Sacramento area)

I am going by Porsche's TSB "Overview of approved Porsche A40 engine oils (01/11)" - published May 9, 2011.

And there are no 10W oils of any brand on the list.
