Transmission Fluid - really that hard?

[Dlirium]

Spoke to Pelican and Pedro about this - funny, Pedro and the owner of Pelican Parts both use the Swepco 201 in their boxsters.

But, as Steve and JFP say, for ~$50, is it really worth it? I'm sure I'd be fine with a different product, but I think I'll stick with the stock replacement as well...

I just found this bulletin:

The Shell 999 917 546 00 seems to be the Porsche Oil, at least the part number matches.

The others are all in 20 liter sizes

Doing a search for Shell 99991754600 leads me to a lot of threads, but no places to buy.

For the amount of time I have spent researching this I have probably used up any savings from doing the job myself

Ok found another thread that seems to say that Audi uses the same transmission oil, for $20 a liter:

Audi Parts - Audi Parts | Audi Wholesale Parts | Audi Accessories | Cheap | Discount Audi Parts

Thread:
Rennlist Discussion Forums - View Single Post - Right gear oil for GT3?

Anybody want to try this out and report back
