Choosing the Best Engine Oil For Your Porsche

Evolve Your Thinking to The Best Oil For Porsche

The choice of Porsche engine oil is critical for performance, wear protection, engine life, and emissions efficiency. There’s a lot of noise about Porsche factory-approved oils A40, C20, C30, and C40 for example, and many personal opinions on the oil brands of choice, oil weights, and additives used. However, until now, no one has challenged the real underlying shortcomings of the synthetic oil in your engine. Porsche wanted to know if there was a alternative to petroleum-based oils.

Tested By Porsche – Best of the Best

Porsche Sales Numbers for 2021 – Another Record Setting Year

2021 – Porsche sells 55,000 new four-door models vs. just 14,000 new sports car coupe models!

Back in 2019 when no mask was needed, Porsche set record sales numbers. 2020 was a year of turmoil and included a shutdown of production during the pandemic. Porsche’s sales in 2020 were still remarkable, but 2021 new car sales have exceeded the 2019 numbers by a record amount. And, order books for 2022 are full – apparently!

While American manufacturers are moaning about no semiconductors, VW ensured enough of the little rascal chips were available for Porsche to deliver their new cars. The strategy worked with more than 70,000 new cars sold in the USA in 2021. Porsche now makes more money per vehicle sold than any other manufacturer in the USA. Not bad considering the financial mess Porsche found itself in some years ago. Read Full Article »

New Porsche 911 GTS Models for 2022

The new 992 911 GTS models are prettier both inside and out, have more power, and feature GTS black bodywork elements.

It’s actually 12 years since Porsche first introduced a GTS version of the 911. The idea is just to spice things up a little as the range gets deep into its production run. A GTS model adds more power, looks a little more aggressive, has interior mods and fine tunes suspension handling. What’s not to like?

Porsche North America Reports Sales Volume for 2020 – Not Many Suprises

Reading Between the Lines of a Crazy Pandemic Sales Year

2020 was certainly a wild ride from many perspectives and the business climate was generally disrupted throughout the country. You therefore, don’t need to be a rocket scientist to predict lower sales results from most enterprises. Having said that, Porsche posted results that actually are not too shabby and in fact, still show growth when compared to 2018.

Yes, overall sales declined by a little over 4000 cars, but volume held up pretty well considering the obscure environment or “new normal” that we find ourselves in. Don’t worry though, uncle Joe and the blue cavalry will sort it all out real soon and everything will be back to…well, different. So what do the sales numbers really tell us? Read Full Article »
