Do you know of a source where I can buy litres of the correct oil?

You need to contact dealers as only some of them repackage it into liter bottles. Try giving Sunset Porsche in OR a call, they used to do it, but I do not know if they still do.

Because of the rather unique nature of the five speed oil, that is a difficult question to answer. I can say that we have seen people try a lot of other products, only to return to the Porsche fluid.

Sorry to bump an old thread... does anyone know offhand if this is the same for a five-speed 987.1 (an '07 Boxster base)? I'm having a lot of trouble finding this stuff!

Just to follow up on this in case it helps anyone in the future, see here:
https://www.renntech.org/topic/55613-whats-the-correct-gear-oil-for-the-5-speed-manual-transaxle/#comment-315433
I think the correct part no. is 000-043-305-00. This shows on some sites as superseding some 986 part nos., so I think it might be the correct fluid for 986s as well.
