There as some things regarding Porsche maintenance I just can't be buggered about with trying to save a few dollars on alternatives - things like genuine water pumps, coolant, alternators and, yes, gearbox fluid.
For heavens sake, if 3 x qts @ $50-00 / qt replaced every 50,000 miles is too much to pay, you're driving the wrong car. Use the search function and you will find threads littered with alternative (cheap) accessories that were changed out AGAIN after the el-cheapo substitutes failed to live up to expectations.
Don't get me wrong, my father was a tight arsed Yorkshireman who watched every penny & I'm of the same mould, but sometimes you just have to pony up and buy the correct bits....
