I believe that Magnatec is only recommended for older engines. The fully synthetic TXT Softec is recommended for use in the contemporary cars.

This comment about Mobil 1 being to thin goes back to when the oil was first marketed and old engines did indeed start leaking from just about anywhere possible when changed over to Mobil 1. This was generally a reflection on the engineering standards and not the oil, not something I think we need to worry about with our Boxsters

Simon,
You say that an ester based fully synthetic is the absolute best motor oil. However Mobil 1 is a pao synthetic. What then is the absolute best, no compromise, money no object oil. I have read about Amsoil, I believe that is ester based.
Paul.
