Can I use synthetic oil in my 2017 Porsche 911?
Yes. The factory-specified viscosity is widely available as a full synthetic, and synthetic is safe (often recommended) for the 2017 Porsche 911. What matters most is matching the factory viscosity and specification, then changing the oil and filter on schedule.
