I use this Hand Pump.

Awesome! I will keep that in mind when I change the 996s tranny oil. It was such a pain transferring the oil to a smaller container and forcing it into position to pour in on the Boxster.

Redline 75W90NS in my 6-speed. Fantastic in my opinion, and what is recommended by Redline.

I have just recently read about this recommendation (maybe here) and then in the last grassroots motorsports mag there was a redline ad specifically stating that this was the type to use in Porsche transmissions because of the design/clearances of components. The NS part is important apparently.

I think the "NS" is "non-slip"?
