While it is an interesting low temperature gear oil, completely water-white in appearance, and is also used widely in Nissan products, the Castrol TAF-X carries the API GL-4 rating which means it is still different than the Porsche oil which does not fit in any GL category. Even Mobil 1 once commented that the Porsche five speed gear oil was so unique and represented such a small market segment, that they had nothing even close to matching it and would not be developing anything suitable.
