I have a 986 S with FSH on 65k miles but want to move to changing the oil more frequently in between garage visits.

I've scoured the web and can't seem to find a definitive answer to whether to use 0w 40 or 5w 40.

What say PH!??

thanks

From my instruction manual (albeit 987) it says 0w-40 is for all temperature ranges whilst 5w-40 is for temperatures above -25'C.
So, unless you have very severe winters it does not matter provided it complies with Porsche A40.

In older models advised to use 5-40
