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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Any transmission fluid recommendations for a manual 996 - No LSD? Tried Porsche Alexandria and they want to sell me 20 Litres. I'm assuming I can use any 75W-90 x 3 Litres. Cheers Jim.

POST 2Original post

The owners manual should tell you what you can use.

POST 3Original post

Are you going to flush or change? TIP https://www.renntech.org/forums/tutorials/article/68-tiptronic-transmission-service/ MAN https://www.renntech.org/forums/tutorials/article/64-manual-transmission-oil-change-instructions/

POST 4Original post

Jim, There is a marked difference between the genuine Porsche transmission fluid and "any" 75W90 oil - especially when the gearbox is cold. They say that the fluid is specially formulated by Shell and is not available through normal outlets. Don't let anyone convince you the standard Mobil / Castrol 75W90 gear oils are equal to the genuine article - they may work but not as well. The Porsche 1 litre bottle is part #999.917.546.00. I got mine over the counter from Porsche Centre Brisbane.

Cheers all Change.... When I said any I was thinking - Mobil Delvac / Swepco 210 etc. I might try walking into Alexandria tomorrow as the assistant I spoke to had no idea tbh... Appreciate the part no. Cheers Jim.
