BTW, Tip fluid service is a bit fiddly (to use the vernacular) so you want to have this done by a shop that knows how to do it right.

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.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I want to change the filter and transmision fluid on a 98 996 tip, what fluid should I use and has anyone done had experiance of this before?

POST 2Original post

My 02 Boxster has a 5-speed manual so I don't know Tip fluids but the 5-speed has been serviced with whatever fluid the parts department shoves over the counter to the Porsche tech and the tranny is working just fine with over 278K miles on it. So, and I think you know where this is going, if I had a Tip I'd use whatever fluid comes across the parts counter. BTW, Tip fluid service is a bit fiddly (to use the vernacular) so you want to have this done by a shop that knows how to do it right.

POST 3Original post

Monty, google it s it is on Youtube. But be warned it is fiddly & difficult unless you have access to a ramp. You can use the Porsche fluid or several equivalents but all are expensive. On my 2000 Boxster I had an OPC change it & the filter & also readapt the gearbox so it relearnt everything. Made a big difference, was around £300 but they had to cut every other pan bolt out as they had seized in!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the replies I do have a pit to use, but I did wonder about those pan bolts when replacing the the filter, I think I will get this done at a garage though I was quoted £210 by Elite porsche which I dont thinks bad.
