if you are stumbling through recommendations for 6+speed lubricants the gearbox part number is Getrag G86/20
The lube spec is: 2.7Lof oil to API classification GL5 75/90
And it has no factory LSD

After all the reading,my conclusion is the Shell Spirax/Porsche original fill is the beat choice. It is what JFP recommends.
So the remaining question is where to get the ShellSpirax/Porsche oil for the best price. Well the shipping is a huge part of the deal .So I'll try to find a local dealer.
