My mistake in not noting you were not in the US. Sorry. Sweden is a truly beautiful country and I regret not having been there more than a month. I would use any of the Porsche-specified lubricants and not any that is not Porsche-specified. I think there are good reasons for the specifications.

The only thing that throws me is that your dealer uses the Shell Transaxle, the PET specifically states that the Mobillube is for the GT3 and the Shell is for the rest of the 9X6 line.

I've got a Motorsports G50/34 gearbox in my car. I've been running the Mobil Delvac which appears fine, though cold shifts are notchy the first few shifts until the oil begins to warm.. The tranny has a Porsche LSD and steel syncros. What have others used in this scenario? My car is a street car.
