Default P-car Oil Poll
Was curious to collect / sample the info here from the Dorki DIYers.

Newer cars (997, 996, 987, 986, etc...) that came from the factory with mobil 1, and might be req'd to run it for warranty reasons, will skew the poll so ... vote what you have in your "other" P-car please, or your last older P-car.

There will be some brands that I missed. Home "concoctions" are not allowed

Just copy the list and headers and add your vote to the type you use (increase number by one). Would have used a poll but it limits the numbers of options / choices you can have. My two are already in the list.

No Hijack intended, Jase. Wanted to make this easier. I added more poll options to make this (and future polls) easier. Try casing your votes again. -C

I used to run Mobil1 on my 964 if that counts and of course the 996 gets the same treatment.

I think I'm down to 6 quarts of the original oil change. The rest is what I found in a pinch to replace that that burned off/leaked out.

I made the mistake of feeding Dino Mobil 1. Should've been obvious based on the car's nme, eh? Anyway, Dino marked the garage floor, a lot!

Prior to my mistake, Dino drank Valvoline VR1.

Note: The VR1 count includes mine and Jim's since he can't read the instructions, I thought I'd help him out and do it for him.

But keep in mind I added a vote for VR1, since it didn't sound like you were endorsing the leaking qualities of Mobil 1 in the 2,4. If you copy the poll, feel free to decriment that value if needed.
