I think they have changed the requirements over time..
for a 2022 Macan S using the 2.9 TT engine I still believe the correct answer is:
0W-30
I have attached the screen shot from the dealership showing what is in the actual Porsche website..
This is for Canada, but there is no difference for summer or winter, so that would tell me likely correct for North America.

I contacted Pennzoil with this question:
Pennzoil Porsche A40 requirement?
Why does Pennzoil Platinum Euro SAE 0W-40 Full Synthetic motor oil NOT list Porsche A40 but Pennzoil Platinum Euro SAE 5W-40 Full Synthetic motor oil DOES?
On your website
www.pennzoil.com
It states: “All Pennzoil Platinum Euro motor oils offer complete protection and performance for European vehicles.”
Is there some reason the 0W-40 does not meet Porsche requirements but the 0W-40 does meet them?
My MY 2016 Porsche Macan Turbo was factory filled with Mobil1 0W-40.
Hard to believe Pennzoil Platinum Euro SAE 0W-40 is not appropriate for my Porsche.
Finally received a reply today:
"Thank you for patiently waiting. Upon further checking, Pennzoil Platinum Euro 0W-40 and 5W-40 switched formulations to be in line with the API SN PLUS/SP specifications. The 0W-40 SP version of this product (001H0962) has never had this approval. We did not seek the approval on the new 0W-40 grades, only for the 5W-40 grades.
Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40 can be used where Porsche A40 0W-40 is recommended. Hope this helps."
So, I will go back to Pennzoil 5w-40 next oil change or
Mobil 1 FS European Car Formula Full Synthetic Motor Oil 0W-40, which DOES have the Porsche A40 listed.
