Hey Guys,

A couple details: I bought the ZF ATF fluid that pelican sells. If you search their site for Esso/Mobil LT 71141 for AT Boxsters, two products show up; Pensotin ATF-1 and ZF ATF. The ZF cost just a little more. I went with it simply because the trans. was built by ZF. There wasn't any product number listed on the site that I saw. However, the fluid showed up today and here's what the containers have to say:

ZF-LifeguardFluid5
ATF
21010N28
Semi-synthetic high performance oil for use in 5-speed automatic transmissions, for cars only.

I, as well, haven't found any specs. regarding the GL rating for the rear diff. oil. My bentley book simply specs. "Hypoid gear oil SAE 75W90". I'm thinking of using Royal Purple product. The local auto part store has small electric pumps for rent for removing the oil. I'm going that route and not pulling the drive axle.

Alright, I'm diving into this change first thing in the a.m. I'll definitely post when I'm done!
