Motherf@#$@#, I spent hours trying to figure out the specs for the fluid and could not get anyone to source this "gold", overpriced fluid! Now, Pelican carries it. I hope Wayne hasn't always carried it and I overlooked!

$16 @ Pelican isn't so bad; I think Pentosin will be the oil of choice for my 996 all the time; note that it's only for 99-01 Tips ; not the MB Tips that went into 02 and up Pcars. ECS wants you to buy 20 litres for the same amount?

Check with your indi's; Audi and VW use comparable ZF fluid 71141; usually runs around the same if not a little less.

There you go! a trans flush with filter change will use 5 litres and with a little spillage you may want to go with 6. My indi used Pentosin and charged me $13/liter. IIRC, trans flush/filter is like every 30K ( or 60K).
