Well, in viewing Porsche Tech Info 3401 (4/99), the following statement exists:

Note: Burmah (TAF 21) part number N 052 911 C0 is not approved for use in Boxster S manual
transmissions.

I can't read this the same as "use only Burmah oil" for non-S

The document instead I think fairly clearly indicates the Shell and Mobil products can be used in both cars.

Is there a later document that clarifies or indicates different?
