MACAN OIL NOV 2021.jpg

This oil subject gets more confusing. Macan 2L mark 2 Petrol. Oil service last week. Normally pay the bill drive off. Notice 1 litre of "top up" oil provided. Description read:

Mobil1 ESP advanced Fuel Economy X2 020
dexosD DIESEL.SHC SHC Synthese Technology.

Asked OPC for verify that this was the correct grade for a petrol car. Reply was yes.
Asked Porsche Tech Support who said to contact the Porche centre - waste of time!
Mobile web states that this new oil has been expertly engineered.......... in new emerging diesel ansd gasoline engines for European vehicles that require SAE 0W-20 grade and is PORSCHE C20 approved BUT not backward compatible with "older Engines"
So is the MK2 petrol 2L engine a "new emerging " version?.

Would be good to hear fron any memeber who has has a recent oil change

My OPC also used that oil for 2109 s oil change. The Porsche C20 or C30 approval is what matters. As post MY 19 cars have PPF's they need an oil that does not endanger the filter similar to diesels with DPf's. the old pre MY A30's oils would cause long term damage if used in post MY 2019 vehicle

Why wouldn’t they use the same oil as would have been used in Audi RS engines for years! There is so much crap that Coe’s out of OPC’s when it comes to conning us out of cash for service… 🙄

Except the oil Audi recommends would change with the introduction of Petrol Particle Filters around 2019

Finally spoke to the service manager who confirmed what pmg wrote; pp filter on 2019 engines. Point is that this being a relevant change OPC should have advised owners upfront and not just leave a container of diesel oil for a petrol engine car. Case solved.

It appears that Mobil do two 0-20 oils ...

The one in your image is Mobil 1 0W-20 however they also do Mobil 1™ ESP X2 0W-20 which is the one listed with C20 approval.

Hi Paul, A closer look at the photo shows ESP and the X2 (just by the 0W-20) . Although noticed that the oil pressure goes up to 3.7 bar in moderate accelertion. The OPC technician commeted that the max pressure on this Electronic oil pump is 5 bar. The electronics adjust pressure to improve mpg at lower revs and speed (per the technician). Learn something every day.
