Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Reported cause

Besides, although Porsche now state that the Pentosin ATF1 is compatible with the Esso LT71141, the ZF boxes were designed to use the Esso ATF and up till last year it was the only recommended ATF for the early ZF boxes.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just purchased a 2000 model tiptronic with factory fitted gt3 kit, it's a superb looking machine. How often should the gearbox oil be changed? And which oil would you recommend? cheers Baz

POST 2Original post

The specified interval is 96,000 miles, but IMO (and others) it benefits from changing it at 50-60,000. What spec? It is all here: http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=230743 [ ] [ ]

POST 3Original post

If you google Esso LT71141, there are suppliers that sell it in 12 litre quantities that is still cheaper than buying it by the litre to a total of 5 litres from OPC. The last time I bought 2 gallons it cost me £75 inc p&p. I think OPC sell a litre for £15-17 + vat. Besides, although Porsche now state that the Pentosin ATF1 is compatible with the Esso LT71141, the ZF boxes were designed to use the Esso ATF and up till last year it was the only recommended ATF for the early ZF boxes. I stuck with the Esso stuff just for peace of mind. It can also be labelled Mobil LT71141 as they are now the same company.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
