There is some controversy regarding the correct transmission lube to use. the original book calls for GL4. The GL5 is a bit slipperier and is not supposed to be good for the brass syncro rings. However, Porsche later changed the factory manual and included GL5 as approved for use?? I would take the oil back and get the GL4 if possible.
