It separates and does not work as advertised, IMO.

No mention of Swepco 201. No good?

For some reason many Porsche guys say not to put the Swepco in the G50 based gearboxes. Personally, I cannot speak to shift quality in one since all my personal Porsches are 901 or 915 based. But what I can tell you is that I used Swepco 201 in the Aisin gearbox in my daily driver, which is a Borg-Warner synchro based design, as is the G50/G96 family of geaboxes. We also use it in the same gearbox in our Lemon racecar (Subaru). I don't see any issue in using it in a GT3.

I think the thing you are ultimately seeing here is that there is no one right answer. There are a bunch of good oils on the market today. Your question is almost like asking what is the best flavour of ice cream.

It was interesting to see the feel difference between brands in my...BMW 330i. Same weight, totally different feel. Wasn't looking for it, but man you could surely tell!
