You might be surprised at how many attempts at using aftermarket gear oils end up in our shop to be switched back to the factory fill due to shifting issues, noise, etc.
i really hope it was not original, 170000 km and i have no maintenance records for the car so i googled and came up with syn teck 75/90 . nearest Porsche shop is 5 hours away.
