It will look like this, from the first analysis on my 993 Turbo:

Delvac Mobil1? What thickness?

Anything better available? I got notchy shifting from 1-2 and was told a flush might help, specially for cold shifting.
Redline No-Shock 75-90 works well in my 993.
removed "notchiness" from 2 to 3.

Hi Alex,
I was considering Motul too. Could you elaborate on the two negative Motul references?
I have acces to Delvac 75W90 in Calgary. It's sold in 20L pails for about CAD 160 +/-. Interested? can ship for you if so.
thx.

The indy shops basically said that they tried Motul on Porsche transmissions and it didn't work well. BOTH recommended Delvac over Motul, while they both hate Mobil-1 engine oil and prefer Motul, which says they're not really biased towards a brand.

I don't need 20L, that's the main issue with Delvac, can't find retail of those in smaller quantities.

Default Delvac

Thanks for clarifications on Motul. Looks good on paper indeed.
I was not clear on Delvac 75W-90. I can split 20L pail and ship you, say 4L jug if you want. Haven't bought it yet. See this:

Under 4L for sure.
Well, let me know, email or message would work well.
Otherwise I will try to buy Delvac in smaller quantity from one of my local perf. shops.
Not sure how Can. Post treats oil shipping.
Contact Mobil supplier in Vancouver or one of the indy shops around and ask.
I was quoted $20 / Liter however on what's $8.25 in bulk.
Hit and miss..... or Greed and miss.....

Default Shell

Wanted to let you all know that Shell Transaxle 75W-90 is available where I live in 20L pails as well. Possibly in W. Canada as well.
