Trans oil - hope I ordered correctly - please verify

[Oldcarguy]

Decided to change the trans oil while the 986 is on the Quickjack with the rear bumper and wheels off (still killing time waiting for the Brombacher). Spent the last 3hrs scouring the web for info on the 6spd drain/fill locations and the how-to for drilling the access hole in the pan. I think I have it all straight but I just want to confirm the I ordered the correct trans oil:

According to the Sunset site, original part number 999.917.546.00 was replaced by 000.043.305.49. 000.043.305.49 is listed on Sunset as ‘Genuine Porsche’ but no indication that it is a Shell product. This is what I ordered.

I also found the Mobil PTX but did not order it as some posts indicate it is for the PDK cars - 000.043.204.20 MOBILUBE PTX 75W 90 (000-043-204-20-SP) and it is not listed as ‘Genuine Porsche’.

Did I order correctly for my 2004 986s 6spd?? Thnx in advance for your replies

000.043.305.49.is the p/n I was supplied by the dealer for my 2000 Boxster S. I nearly needed a loan to purchase 3 litres.

I can't remember the P/N....sorry.
Stuff was expensive! Thing is, at the rate I'm going, may only do it once every 15 years or so. So my math is like this ...

Off the shelf gear oil. ~$25 for 3 liters.
Porsche gold. ~$100 for 3 liters

So $75 for 15 years of worrying I used the wrong stuff is no biggie. Same math goes for coolant nectar.

As long as it says 'genuine unicorn blood' you are good to go. I had a look at the bottle I still have and you have the juice.

Thanks Geof, now I’m just waiting for the UPS truck next week.

As you mentioned you did some research on Drain (drilling hole in plate brace) and fill plug.
This may be repetition, Loosen fill plug before draining.
Did you buy a pump to get fluid out of containers?

Thanks for the reminder about the drain plug. I’m planning to tackle breaking it loose tomorrow. I did order a pump that should fit the 1 liter bottles (from Amazon of course).

Mine broke with absolutely no issues what-so-ever. Use a new hex. Less likely to have issues.
