I was thinking the "Porsche stuff" was a Shell product. I'm not sure exactly what constitutes OEM transmission fluid in P-cars anymore. Is this Mobil product the one that is so much better than the other oils out there? The stuff that you, JFP, have had customers drain out other transmission oils to put in?
Porsche currently has two approved 6 speed lubes, this is one, the other was a Shell product. The early 986 base cars with a 5 speed used a totally unique product which was made by Burmah, which is also a Shell subsidiary.
