^ just to give you an idea the Delvac 75W90 is rated for up to 300,000 miles! in some commercial applications ie Eaton Roadranger etc. This stuff is formulated to last a very long time which explains the price.

OK - I'm sold on the Delvac :-))

I'm also considering replacing the LSD clutch pack with the same plates used in the 997/GT3 : (part# 950-332-983-36) They are supposed to be more durable and compatible with the 993 :

Any opinions ? Is this a good choice ?

Actually looks like 500,000 miles!

Partick is always expensive, call Sunset Porsche and ask for a quote on Porsche Motorsport 4 plate pack for your 993.

Motorsport discontinued the 4 pack quite some time ago. Plus 120ft/lbs of preload is way too much for a street car. Thats really too much for a recreational track guy. Noisy and wears way too fast.
