Working alongside the passionate and innovative engineers at Porsche has allowed us to develop advanced lubrication technologies specifically to protect and optimize the performance of every Porsche engine," said Alan Kelly, president, ExxonMobil Fuels, Lubricants and Specialties Marketing.
"A critical fundamental in engine performance is lubrication," said Wolfgang Hatz, Member of the Executive Board - Research and Development, Porsche AG.
