The 928 engine oil needs a blend of 15w50 synthetic. I only use Joe Gibbs Racing oil from Summit Racing. I use spark plugs WR7DC Bosh copper core.
You should get to know the 928 parts guys personally. They can help you with all your needs, or should I say they can help with relationship advice. I go to Roger at 928rus and 928 International for advice and parts. Most electrical gremlins can be traced by bad grounds, along with bad aftermarket stereo installer’s/owner’s bad fixes. The 928 does not like to be cheated on. To combat corrosion on all electrical connections, I use DeoxiT for all the corrosion inside and outside.
I have found that many people don’t know how to read a fuse panel diagram. So, another early to-do on my list was to replace all the fuses with the correct new ones. Relays are also a problem, so keep spares a plenty.
I found that the factory seal on the oil pan will leak, due to the loose bolts or a bad seal. To fix it without pulling the engine, I bought a stud kit with dimpled bolts and used blue lock tight. This quick fix has worked well and kept this relationship on the road.
The engine sizes and horse power have had increases over the years, but the 928- body style has very little changes. Both my engine and 5-speed transmission are from an S4. The brakes are big Brembo 4-piston. Top of the line options included LSD differential, sport seats, heavy duty
