The liquid engine component.

Every component of your Porsche is engineered to work with each other, to deliver optimum performance. The engine oil is no exception. A true high-performance oil does far more than simply lubricate your Porsche engine. It plays a vital role in optimising performance and reliability and ensuring a long engine life. That’s why it’s so important to choose an engine oil tailored to your Porsche, and to change it regularly according to the service schedule. Only then can you be sure it always retains the properties which make it – and your Porsche – perform.

Task 1: Lubricates

Forms a permanent lubricant film between the moving surfaces in the engine. Cylinders and pistons, in particular, must be adequately lubricated in order to prevent piston seizure. Lubrication provides protection against wear, thereby extending the engine's life, and reducing friction also saves fuel.

Task 2: Cleans

Keeps the engine clean. Special additives protect hot, moving engine parts from any contamination that may arise during the combustion process (or from use of biofuels such as biodiesel). The additives absorb impurities in the oil, preventing harmful deposits in the engine.

Task 3: Neutralises

Neutralises acids formed by combustion gases and unburnt fuel in the oil, thereby preventing corrosion – especially in the bearings.

Task 4: Cools

Dissipates heat. Oil cools many parts of the engine not reached by the coolant.
