However, the Porsche engine and year applications referenced here apply only to Porsche models available in the USA.

How to confirm which Porsche oil specification is right for your Macan engine?

The recommended Porsche Macan oil, specifications, quality standards, and oil viscosity weight are specified in your owner's manual. Always consult a service manual, or your owner's manual for your vehicle to confirm what type of specific fluids or oils are required for your Macan model. These specifications can typically be referenced in the owner's manual index under engine oil or operating fluids. If you have lost your owner's manual and are having difficulty determining what type of Macan oil to use, you may wish to refer to our BLAU® Oil Change Kits for the Porsche Macan models, which match the correct Porsche oil specification, oil filter, and hardware for each specific Macan model and engine type.

  • 2019-2021 Porsche Macan 2.0L L4 turbo gasoline models use Porsche C20 oil spec (Base model).

Porsche Macan Oil Fill Capacities

It is also important not to overfill your engine with oil. The below charts recommend adding 0.5 liter Less engine oil than the total oil capacity called for Porsche Macan. After you change the oil and filter, start the engine, and run it until you reach the full operating temperature of approximately 180 F. Typically, it will take around 15 minutes to achieve engine operating temperature. With the vehicle on level ground, wait a minute or two once the engine is shut off, and then check the dipstick oil level or use the vehicle onboard Multimedia Interface computer system to check the oil level. Fill the engine to the full mark. This is the correct way to check the engine oil level and avoid overfilling the engine crankcase when performing your Porsche Macan oil change. Following this procedure allows the oil in the engine to warm up and expand so that the dipstick reflects the accurate level of oil in the engine. It is also good to make sure your engine and oil are warm before draining because this allows the oil to flow or drain down to the engine's oil pan sump for a more thorough and complete draining of the old engine oil.

Overfilling the engine oil is a common mistake. If you check your Macan oil level when the engine is cold, remember the oil has not fully expanded and if you top off the oil to the maximum level on the dipstick when the engine is cooler, you will likely overfill your engine. If you overfill the engine oil, the excess oil expands, resulting in excess crankcase pressure and can make its way into the engine's crankcase ventilation breather hoses, PVC valves, and EGR systems. The excess oil will create above normal engine crankcase pressure, and above normal oil smog, or mist, known as blowby. The excess blowby can pollute the air the engine is ingesting for combustion and impairs the engine PCV ventilation and the EGR systems. When the engine experiences repeated overfilling, the excess blowby will likely contribute to an oily carbon buildup on the topside of the engine's intake and exhaust valves. Over time, repeated overfilling can also cause oily residue and carbon buildup in expensive emission system components and cause catalytic converters, EGR valves, oxygen sensors, EGT sensors, and engine particulate filters (PDF) to plug up and fail prematurely.

Porsche Macan Oil Fill Capacity

  • 2015-2018 Porsche Macan 3.6L V6 turbo gasoline engine oil fill capacity is 8 liters or 8.5 quarts (Turbo model).
  • 2015-2018 Porsche Macan 3.0L V6 turbo gasoline engine oil fill capacity is 8 liters or 8.5 quarts (S and GTS model).
  • 2020-2021 Porsche Macan 2.9L V6 turbo gasoline engine oil fill capacity is 7.5 liters or 7.9 quarts (GTS and Turbo model).
  • 2019-2021 Porsche Macan 3.0L V6 turbo gasoline engine oil fill capacity is 7.5 liters or 7.9 quarts (S model).
  • 2017-2018 Porsche Macan 2.0L L4 turbo gasoline engine oil fill capacity is 4.7 liters or 4.9 quarts (Base model).
  • 2019-2021 Porsche Macan 2.0L L4 turbo gasoline engine oil fill capacity is 5.2 liters or 5.5 quarts (Base model).

What Is the Best Porsche Macan Oil Change Interval?

The recommended Macan oil change intervals will depend on the exact year and engine option. It is important to keep in mind that from the 2015 introduction of the Porsche Macans in the United States to the present, the oil change intervals have had several updates. Below are the current (as of the publishing date of this article) Porsche Macan oil change intervals that are in accordance with engine options and engine types.

Porsche Macan Oil Change Intervals

  • 2015-2018 Porsche Macan 3.6L V6 turbo gas engine oil change interval is 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever accrues first. Or according to flexible onboard maintenance system (Turbo model).
  • 2015-2018 Porsche Macan 3.0L V6 turbo gas engine oil change interval is 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever accrues first. Or according to flexible onboard maintenance system (S and GTS model).
  • 2020-2021 Porsche Macan 2.9L V6 turbo gas engine oil change interval is 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever accrues first. Or according to flexible onboard maintenance system (GTS and Turbo model).
  • 2019-2021 Porsche Macan 3.0L V6 turbo gas engine oil change interval is 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever accrues first. Or according to flexible onboard maintenance system (S model).
  • 2017-2018 Porsche Macan 2.0L L4 turbo gas engine oil change interval is 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever accrues first. Or according to flexible onboard maintenance system (Base model).
  • 2019-2021 Porsche Macan 2.0L L4 turbo gas engine oil change interval is 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever accrues first. Or according to flexible onboard maintenance system (Base model).

The above oil change interval recommendation of 10,000 miles or once a year should only be followed with an oil that has the OEM Porsche approved oil quality specifications, along with, an OEM oil filter designed for a 10,000-mile extended oil change interval. Using engine oils labeled without the correct Porsche oil specification, and using generic aftermarket oil filters, could lead to engine mechanical breakdowns and reliability issues associated with the vehicle's emission system components.

Modern synthetic engine oils have motivated some owners to run their oil longer than the recommended change interval or oil change service. However, it is the best practice to stick to the Porsche recommended oil change interval. We feel that the vehicle manufacturers have done due diligence in defining what the correct engine oil specification requirements and quality standards should be, and precisely how many miles you should run the oil to ensure the best engine longevity. If you choose to run an oil with an OEM Approval beyond the recommended change interval, it would be a good practice to confirm it can be run safely beyond it, by collecting a sample of your used engine oil. After collecting the sample, you should send it to an oil analysis laboratory so they can analyze and test the oil to confirm it has not broken down, and it is still maintaining its ability to provide maximum lubrication protection for whatever length of oil change interval you may be choosing.

Under certain circumstances, we recommend performing oil changes at more frequent intervals.

If your vehicle is exposed to any of the below-driving conditions, you might want to consider changing the engine oil at 5,000 - 8,000 miles instead of 10,000 miles:

Examples:

  • The engine is new and is still going through the break-in period.
  • The engine is consistently under load, and subject to conditions such as commercial use, and pulling trailers. Driving at sustained high speeds or spirited driving conditions.
  • Driving short distances or stop and go intermittent driving where full engine operating temperature is not reached. Especially in cold winter climates.
  • Running the engine at idle for an extended period.
  • Drive in extreme hot summer temperatures for an extended period.

What Are Porsche Engine Oil Quality Standards (AKA Oil Specs) and Why Are They Important?

Worldwide there has been an increased emphasis for vehicle manufacturers to reduce emissions, minimize their carbon footprint, and improve fuel economy. In the mid to late 1990s Porsche created and instituted their own internal engine oil quality standard and specification system to ensure optimal engine reliability and longevity. They were put into place to ensure a higher quality level of engine oil would be used in their engines instead of solely relying upon, and specifying the broader, and more general API or ACEA oil quality standards and specifications. Each Porsche oil quality specification denoted by letters and numbers (e.g. PORSCHE A40, PORSCHE C30, PORSCHE C20), signifies the necessary oil profile and chemical properties required for the oil to archive the correct performance level that is required for a specific Porsche engine application. It is also important to note that engine oils that have received OEM Porsche oil approvals have been tested more extensively than popular “off the shelve” oils, which typically are lower in quality and have a simpler set of oil specification parameters that only cover a broad or general range of lubrication requirements than those developed by Porsche. Engines and vehicle emission systems that experience mechanical issues or failures can often be linked to consumers using inferior low to mid-quality grade engine oils for a prolonged period. Using the correct OEM-approved Porsche oil specification for your engine requirements will offer the best possible performance, protection, and longevity for your engine.

Below you will find a full list of Porsche oil specifications for use in the Porsche Macan engines.

Can I use a non-approved oil in my Porsche Macan, or one that does not meet Porsche oil quality standards?

Conventional petroleum-based blends of motor oils are becoming a thing of the past and should not be used for the best results as noted above. Using conventional motor oils that do not have an OEM-approved Porsche engine oil quality standard on the bottle label is very risky and not recommended.

New Porsche Macan engines, turbochargers, and their fuel injection and emission system components, use an array of unique designs and materials. These engines and components are designed and engineered to operate within exact parameters, tolerances, and performance levels. The long-term use of low-quality generic engine oils that were not specifically designed for your engine could compromise the integrity of the engine and these related components. Always use engine oils that meet the exact Porsche oil specification for your specific Macan engine type. Additionally, using oils that do not meet the correct PORSCHE Macan oil specification could jeopardize your vehicle's warranty.

What engine oil should be used when topping off my Porsche Macan engine oil?

When topping off your Macan engine oil between oil changes, we encourage you to have an extra liter of the correct Porsche specification oil on hand. If you experience a low engine oil level emergency, having an extra liter of oil will help you to get through the remainder of the duration of your oil change interval. We discourage mixing oil brands and different types of oil since no two brand oil formulations are alike, especially, if the oil does not meet the correct Porsche oil specification. Purchasing an extra liter of oil helps ensure you are prepared to use the right oil for topping up, just in case.

* If you experience a low engine oil level emergency and you do not have the correct PORSCHE oil quality specification available, as an alternative you could use an oil specification very close to being an equivalent, rather than continuing to run the engine with a low oil level. If such an emergency occurs, we would advise you to schedule and perform the next oil change interval as soon as reasonably possible. Be sure to use the correct Porsche oil specification that is recommended for your exact Macan engine type. Here are some Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes oil specs that are close equivalents to the following Porsche oil specs.

  • Porsche C20, VW 508 00*
  • Porsche C30, VW 504 00, VW 507 00, MB 229.51, BMW Longlife-04*
  • Porsche A40, VW 502 00, MB 229.5, BMW Longlife-01*

What Is the Best Porsche Macan Engine Oil Type?

Today, more than ever, there are more engine oil brands to choose from than ever before. Everyone seems to have an opinion as to what brand of oil they prefer to use in their Porsche Macan. Some choose to purchase a low-cost engine oil since they do not want to spend the money to buy a high-quality engine oil with formal PORSCHE-approved oil quality specifications. Others are unknowingly misled into thinking a name-brand oil is of high quality when it is not. Some name-brand oils are proven to be low quality by showing signs of breaking down as early as 4,000 - 5,000 miles. The signs of broken-down oil may be increased engine ticking or tapped noise around the 4000-mile mark. Others believe, “I’ll buy a cheaper oil and just change my oil sooner. Does that make sense when the manufacturer recommends changing the oil every 10,000 miles? Is it reasonable to pay twice, for 2 cheaper oil changes (including 2x the labor) that last only 5,000 miles each? Or is it more reasonable to buy once, for 1 high-quality oil change (including 1x labor) that will perform better for the entire recommended 10,000-mile oil change interval? Do the math, When you buy a high-quality oil engineered to be run for 10,000 miles, you will typically always save money and time, paying less in the long run. Using a high-quality oil like Ravenol CleanSynto or USVO, you are getting what you pay for. A superior quality product that is engineered to ensure optimal engine protection throughout the entire oil change interval along with a host of additional benefits as noted below.

If you plan on keeping your Porsche Macan long-term you should be concerned about the benefits your engine receives when using high-quality approved oils for your Macan engine. They offer better lubricating characteristics and usually do not break down for the entire duration of the oil change interval. Using a cheaper inexpensive oil will typically have a formulation with lower lubricating characteristics and will usually break down before the oil change interval. Remember, oils that have the formal Porsche approval on the bottle label meet a higher quality standard. They have been subjected to extensive testing when compared to many popular “off the shelve” oils which typically fall into the category of being lower quality because they only have a basic, general set, of lubrication requirements.

When you use a higher quality engine oil (Like Ravenol) you're being more environmentally responsible. Some benefits to the environment are having your engine emit fewer carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Longer oil change intervals mean you're conserving and using less oil. Using less oil means you are using less of the earth’s natural resources and producing fewer greenhouse gases which are created from the energy it takes to manufacture the oil in the first place. In the end, using a higher quality engine oil creates less pollution and you are being environmentally responsible.

Things that are worth considering when shopping for your Porsche Macan engine oil

OEM Approvals - If your Macan is still under warranty it’s important to use engine oil that clearly states on the bottle label, or manufacturer's website, that it has a formal OEM approval for the desired Porsche oil specification (e.g. Porsche A40 or Porsche C20). If it states “Approval”, that means the oil manufacturer has received an official letter from the vehicle manufacturer (e.g. Porsche) stating that the oil is made in compliance and meets the Porsche quality standards required for your engine model.

Did you know RAVENOL has more OEM approvals than almost any other oil company - worldwide*? RAVENOL offers one of the largest product ranges of engine oils with Porsche's “Approval”. It is an excellent choice for discriminating Porsche owners who desire only the highest quality products. (*Based on the latest Dekra Betriebsstoff Liste.)

Quality Synthetic Base Oil and Tested Oil Characteristics - Transparency builds confidence and trust. The oil manufacturer should freely disclose the exact type of synthetic oil base. When shopping for Macan oil look for a product that clearly states its formulation is made from synthetic PAO or Ester base oils. The price of a product is usually a good indication of the type or group of synthetic base it is made with. In the engine oil industry, a quality synthetic will typically cost no less than $10-$12 a liter. If the price is less than that, beware, the oil may not be formulated with a synthetic PAO or Ester base oil.

We recommend you go to the oil manufactures website to review and investigate for yourself what the performance characteristics of the oil are, and research what the base oil formulation is made from. They should list the technical details related to the oil's viscosity such as HTHS value, temperature pourpoint and flashpoint, and the Noack volatility at certain temperatures. Interestingly, most oil manufacturers are not completely transparent with this information because these technical characteristics could reveal their oil as inferior, or low quality. Additionally, always question the quality of oil that says they are a synthetic “blend” in the description. Many are made with only a small percentage of real synthetic base oil and could fall into the class of being low quality.

You will appreciate the RAVENOL oil brand for being more transparent with the important technical characteristics of their oil specifications. In most cases, they tell you if the oil formulation is mineral, semi-synthetic, or fully synthetic based. RAVENOL will even provide details about whether it is a full PAO or Ester base. Their latest USVO oils are the “best of the best “because the base of the oil is a very high-quality, fully synthetic PAO formulation. The USVO base synthetic is combined with proprietary additives that make this oil outperform other name brands (even OEM brands) on the market by as much as 20%. In today’s competitive marketplace, when making a superior product like RAVENOL, other oil manufacturers want to know their oil formulations. Understandably, some of RAVENOL’s technical details are not displayed because they may be considered trade secrets.

100% engineered, made, and bottled in Germany! - European oil manufacturers have been at the forefront of developing the latest engine oil technologies to meet the latest demands of new and more strict European vehicle emission regulations and modern engine technology. These demands have required them to develop new oil specifications and quality standards to meet those requirements typically before they arrived here. Consequently, new advanced manufacturing techniques that create the latest oil formulations result in a superior product when compared to domestically made products available here in the U.S. and Canada. It also costs more for domestic oil manufacturers to use higher quality materials and change their standard processes to make the oil meet the required European specification or standards. Some parts of the world have very lenient rules on what they consider fully synthetic. Whereas, under German law, you must be transparent and say it as it is. Surprisingly, what is defined and labeled as semi-synthetic oils in Germany, are marketed as fully synthetic oils in other parts of the world. RAVENOL endeavors to be transparent and say it as it is. Their oils are made in Germany at their manufacturing facility. They have total control of the manufacturing process which allows them to create cutting-edge formulations and super high-quality products no matter where it is sold in over 80 different countries!

Remember, the quality level is usually always reflected in the price of the product. Using a high-quality base oil and additive package in the oil formulation costs more. Using higher quality synthetics in the base oil, and high-quality additives, create a much more robust engine oil when compared to conventional motor oil. Keep in mind that most repair shops today are driven by productivity and profit and are more concerned about using a lower-cost engine oil that is “sufficient” that allows them to make more profit, rather than using expensive high-quality oil and making less. If you are a Porsche Macan owner and are concerned about maintaining your vehicle properly for the long term, we suggest you ask questions, do the research, and spend the extra time, energy, and money to make sure your oil change is done right.

RAVENOL products meet the highest quality specifications and standards. Select RAVENOL products meet the recommended Macan oil specifications and carry OEM approvals from Porsche. RAVENOL also works closely with automotive manufacturers, race engineers, and race teams, to develop the most technically advanced lubricants available today.

Below you will find a variety of engine oils that are recommended for the Porsche Macan. Please reference the Macan oil specification and quality standard application list above. Use the list as a guide in conjunction with your owner’s manual to find the correct PORSCHE Macan engine oil spec for your specific engine type.

USVO® technology is ultra-strong viscosity oil based on fully synthetic PAO (Poly-alpha-olefin) and or Ester base oils. USVO® technology provides extremely high viscosity stability and avoids the disadvantages of using added polymeric viscosity improvers. This allows for an exceptionally higher level of engine protection, performance, engine cleanliness, and longer oil drain intervals. This exclusive technology allows the oil to have minimal to no shear losses during the entire oil change interval while being extremely stable to oxidation. This technology also helps the oil to flow and lubricate faster, minimize friction, supports improved fuel economy, and keeps the engine clean and efficient. Some USVO® technology engine oils also utilize the positive properties of molybdenum and tungsten to smooth the internal surface structure of the engine, reducing friction and wear, and significantly improving the engine's mechanical efficiency. All of this provides cutting-edge engine protection, performance, and cleanliness.

Simply put Ravenol USVO® technology oils are setting a new standard in synthetic oil technology! Compared to others, they are using superior fully synthetic engine oil formulations. Minuscule breakdown or loss in viscosity during an entire extended oil change interval. If you are looking for some of the best engine oils available, the USVO® products are your best option.

About CleanSynto® Technology

Ravenol is revolutionizing motor oil with CleanSynto® technology! Superior quality synthetic base stocks and advanced German engineered additive packages outperform other brands and provide maximum lubrication during extended mileage oil change intervals. CleanSynto® technology improves engine cleanliness thus maximizing the engine's life span.

CleanSynto® technology reduces the deposit of soot and dirt particles so that oil can reach critical lubricating points more effectively, keeping your engine cleaner longer. This can dramatically improve engine efficiency and significantly reduce the risk of engine problems and damage in the future. Conventional and even many so-called fully synthetic engine oils use inferior refined base oils and conventional additives. This type of standard formulation is sufficient for many general applications but provides less long-term protection for modern engines. Soot and dirt particles can leave deposits or sludge, which may result in blocked crankcase hoses, filters, pumps, etc. Resulting in a decline in engine efficiency and life expectancy.
