@ Peter - I would not recommend Redline. It will only exasperate your symptoms you described. They are good if you are racing/tracking the car, but as a daily driver, Porsche oil is excellent.

+1 on using the real stuff. I used a generic fluid back on 2015 for what was my cars first change and it was horrible. It was like the synchros didn’t exist. I drained it after a couple of days and put in the Porsche stuff and it is like night and day better. Don’t balk at the price, pay once and get it right.
