Upgrade your Porsche engine engine protection to renewable green non-petroleum based Evolve Performance Fluid.

New Superior Lubricants Designed
To Better Protect Your Porsche Engine

New Fluid Technology That Replaces Engine Oil
Beyond What Oil Even Means Chemically or Functionally

Porsche recommends Mobil 1 for your Porsche.Hi-Tech Fluid Replacement for Engine Oil

For most Porsche models, the standard legacy oil recommendation is Mobil 1 petroleum-based synthetic oil that meets Porsche’s specific test standards, like A40, C30, or C20.

New Engine Performance Fluid Technology

If oil is doing it’s job of stopping metal to metal contact in an engine, then logically there should never be any engine wear. However, with premature wear like bore scoring, broken piston rings, worn cam followers, and spun bearings, it’s obvious that oil is not doing a good job of protecting your engine. Given the advances in hydrocarbon technology, Porsche wanted to know if an alternative approach to engine lubricants would deliver better engine wear protection.

Porsche engines develop bore scoring with legacy synthetic oil.Advanced Fluid Technology Proven Beyond the Performance Capabilities of Mobil 1 Oil

Porsche is actively developing alternatives to petroleum-based oils and fuels. Porsche is creating eFuel – a carbon-neutral fuel for use in existing combustion engines. European car manufacturers, Porsche, and the FIA, want to go beyond the performance and environmental issues of legacy petroleum-based oils. F1 race teams for example, will run sustainable fuel in the 2026 season.

Porsche worked with Evolve Lubricants to test their Engine Performance Fluid (EPF) – a new class of lubricant. The test results prove that Evolve’s advanced plant based hydro-carbon technology delivers a superior, sustainable fluid, that better protects Porsche engines and outperforms Mobil 1  – and all motor oils.

All Synthetic Oils Are Letting You Down

The job of oil in your engine is to form a film between moving metal parts like piston rings and cylinder walls, bearings, and camshafts etc. The oil should reduce friction and wear on these components by ensuring metal to metal contact is avoided. Oil lubricates, cools, cleans, seals, protects, and powers precision systems that deliver engine performance.

Where Oil Fails in Your Porsche Engine

If the oil recommended for your Porsche engine is doing it’s job, there shouldn’t be metal to metal contact and therefore, no engine wear. Yet Porsche owners face issues such as bore scoring, spun bearings, broken piston rings, excessive cam follower wear, and broken turbos, etc. These are clear signs of a failure in the engine oil to effectively do its job. These are likely not engine design faults – they are oil performance problems.

Today's engines go beyond the abilities of oil.Engines Go Beyond the Capabilities of Oil Chemistry

Porsche makes smaller capacity engines with tight tolerances that produce more power and better fuel economy. That means the oil film has to work harder and more efficiently in smaller gaps between moving parts. Turbocharging adds higher temperatures and increased fluid pressures which further stress the oil film. These factors go beyond the capabilities of oil chemistry and it’s no wonder we see a return to bore scoring, excessive oil consumption, and premature engine wear. Oil can’t keep up with modern engine design.

Oil Comes Out of The Ground – Evolve Doesn’t

Despite being called “synthetic,” more than 80% of the oil in the container you buy from known brands, is base stock petroleum oil with the same old issues.

Failed main bearing in Porsche engine.Oil Problems in Your Porsche Today

The petroleum-based synthetic oil in your Porsche today:

  • Heat and pressure significantly degrade engine wear protection.
  • Poor heat transfer causes more friction and increased surface wear.
  • Poor cold start protection as oil does not cling to surfaces well.
  • Sticky deposits form that inhibit oil flow due to oxidization.
  • Wear protection degrades significantly during oil change interval.
  • Contamination by fuel dilutes oil rapidly – no wear protection.
  • Requires toxic additives to work better.
  • High emission NOx output.
  • Dirty, clean-up is a problem, and used oil is toxic.
Evolve provides better engine protection.Evolve Engine Performance Fluid Replaces Oil

Evolve Engine Performance Fluid is a new form of engine protection technology that goes beyond what oil even means chemically or functionally. Evolve Engine Performance Fluid or EPF is engineered to outperform oil. It replaces legacy engine oil with a next generation performance fluid. Evolve Lubricants provide a significant step forward in engine wear protection for your Porsche.

Porsche AG Evolve Lubricants EvoSyn® Test

Evolve non-petroleum fluid is recommended for Porsche engines.Lowest Recorded Wear Rate

Porsche AG conducted a “destructive engine test” using Evolve EvoSyn® in a Porsche 6 cylinder turbo engine. The target of the test was to go significantly beyond than the ACEA 2021 testing methodology for Porsche A40/C40 approvals. The test was conducted under the most severe operating conditions, including full throttle racetrack simulations, high piston ring groove temperatures, and significant fuel dilution scenarios.

In the test Porsche checks for engine wear rates, oxidation, changes in oil temp, oil pressure, viscosity change, deposits, emissions output, and viscosity dilution under severe conditions. The testing sequence consisted of hundreds of hours of simulated full throttle endurance race conditions, repeated friction tests, oxidation, nitration, cold start, and fluid aging test sequences.

No piston ring grove wear with Evolve EvoSyn.Evolve EvoSyn® Outperforms All Engine Oils

More than 32 different oil manufacturers, including the largest well-known brands, have tested their legacy motor oil in less extreme circumstances for the A40, C20, C30, and C40 approval. Evolve EvoSyn® produced superior results that exceeded all oils previously tested.

  • Lowest surface wear rate recorded.
  • Highest HP gain – 12hp gain at 7000 RPM.
  • Most stable viscosity.
  • Highest resistance to thinning at high shear rates.
  • Least dilution.
  • Least oxidation – no sticky deposits.
  • Lowest emission output.
  • Highest thermal dispersion – lowest oil temperature.

Evolve EvoSyn® is the next generation sustainable fluid technology that replaces motor oil.

Zero Wear Issues With Evolve Engine Performance Fluid

In addition, where motor oils failed in the test, Evolve EvoSyn® reported no issues with ring groove deposits, sludge, piston ring groove wear limits, piston ring sticking, cam wear and hydraulic valves, main bearing wear, connecting rod bearing wear, turbo charger seal socket varnishing, turbo charger sealing ring sticking, turbo charger sealing ring wear, turbo charger variable turbine sticking, turbo charger cover cleanliness, elongation of timing chain, oil filter differential pressure, filter blocking, or cylinder liner wear. Evolve maintained viscosity throughout all test sequences and outperformed all motor oils across all measurement criteria.
