Porsche 911
2019–present (992) · 3.0L Flat-Six Twin-Turbo (direct injection) · 8-speed PDK / 7-speed manual
The Porsche 911 992 (2019+) uses a 3.0L flat-six twin-turbo with direct injection — carbon buildup on intake valves at 60,000–80,000 km. Porsche A40-spec oil (0W-40 or 5W-40) is mandatory; change every 10,000–15,000 km. PDK fluid every 60,000 km. The 992 generation eliminated the IMS bearing issue of the 996/997 era — no IMS concern. RMS (rear main seal) is the main sealing risk on high-mileage units.
