Opted for 10w40 as I was advised, and wanted to say that oil pressure is perfect.
The old oil was black, but no contaminents or swarf so that's good (was told to check the oil as it's one way of seeing if IMS bearing is worn).
Happy with the choice and it seems to be running well.
I wasn't quite prepared for how quickly the oil gushes out though (filled up my oil container in about 20 seconds!), I had another one on standby luckily but the force it came out and splashed into the tray meant some of it went over the garage floor.
I think I am going to get the annual service done at a porsche centre / good indy to keep the history and other bits up together, but I am still going to drop the oil 6 months after to put some fresh in from now on.
