Manual Trans Fluid Change

So it seems this topic is beat to hell. I purchased a 2000 Boxster S last Fall (2015) Currently it is in storage. It has a pretty clear service history, but do NOT see a manual trans fluid change in a while. After extensive reading, I am leaning towards using the Porsche OEM Fluid (999-917-546-00), and dont mind paying the extra $'s for it. Question is do I need 3 or 4 Liters, not seeing a clear answer.
P.S> Anyone have experience with PowerTech Repair center in Rockaway NJ?
I hear GREAT things about them.
Thanks
Happy Boxstering.

BTW, for the 5-speed, and probably even for the S and its 6-speed, the dealer tranny fluid change is a bargain. For my Boxster the labor is just 0.3 hour.
My Turbo's 6-speed requires a bit more labor, I can't recall the number now, as it has some extra panels to remove to gain access to the transmission drain/fill points. And there is a front diff that needs fluid servicing too.
