Default Transaxle fluid change

Guys, I am going to change the fluid on the GT3. What have you guys used to refill your cars? Mine sees 90% street and 10% track. How much fluid is needed?

See my DIY Article here on Rennlist.

Mobil Delvac not approved by Porsche AG for a stock transaxle.

Delvac blurb.....

Original fill in 996/997 GT3/Cup cars, and GT3Rs. Works well in all 901, 915, G50, G96 gearboxes. Used extensively in Porsche Motorsport products in every grueling test there can be LeMans, Sebring, Daytona, etc. We also use it in our service department in all street and race cars. Works in cars with or without (LSD) limited slip differentials.

There is a reason that PMNA, Copans, and others swear by this stuff.

If for some reason you want to use the dealer supplied stuff make sure you use the PTX.....if you can find it **it is ONLY sold in 20L containers**

Street car that doesn't see track? EVERY OTHER YEAR

Car that goes to the track a few times a year as a DE? ONCE A YEAR

Track car? EVERY SEASON (ONCE AT THE END OF THE SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL)

For brake fluid I use Motul RBF600, but I'm not as fast as those guys.
