Recommended oil for 1987 Porsche 911 please.?

Update:

Thanks for advice Re. "Check the owners manual"......I know this may sound obvious but this car is 30 yrs old. Modern synthetic oils have come on a long way in this time. So...Go fully synthetic ? Which grade (Uk). Semi ?

Or stick with the old 'Dinosour oil' as (yes) recommended back in 1987.

    Inquire at the Service Dept at an official Porsche Dealership and follow their advice. There are 2 schools of thought regarding synthetics. Some say stick with conventional oils. I do NOT use synthetic in my Euro 1985 BMW M6. However, my 2014 Carrera S REQUIRES synthetic.

    If you don't have the owners manual, find one or go onto a Porsche forum.
