The 2018 Porsche Macan is equipped with either a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine or one of three different 3.0-liter turbocharged 6-cylinder engines. The 2.0T engine needs 5 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil (Porsche part numbers 000 043 301 16 or 000 043 303 17), while each of the 3.0T engines requires 8.5 quarts of SAE 5W-40 full synthetic oil. Although there is no specific Porsche part number for the 3.0T engine oil, a synthetic European blend is recommended. It's important to note that using proprietary oil is suggested but not mandatory. However, considering the investment in a Macan, I would personally opt for the best quality fluids, even if they are slightly more expensive. While you might be able to get by with a lower-grade oil, I wouldn't take the risk.
