Thanks Bob,
The only way to get PTX is to let Porsche dealer do the oil change. They are really slow! I have to wait a month for next appointment and another 2-3 weeks to complete the service. Thats why I am looking for substitute, at least for now.

The factory fill for the G50/53 was Mobilube SHC(Delvac), Veedol SAF 44 and Castrol SAF-XJ. Porsche only pulled the generic GL5 recommendation for transmission fluid (back in 1998) for the regular 964 and 993 G50 transmissions.

This is why I had the local dealer fill a clean 4l windshield washer container with PTX...

the G50/53 (As per label) Is the street version of the GT2 Transmission, All GT2 Transmissions came with a 40/65 LSD (Race and Street)

As this is an original GT2, to protect the value of the car, as it is significant, I would suggest waiting for the dealer to have the work done. Buyers of these types of cars are going to look for original documentation from a dealer.

I wonder how many GT2's are in HK.
Respect Ray - driving a GT2 around in HK is brave.
I miss drives in HK - some good roads.

Did you finally get Jebsen to sort out the issues fore you?
