Charles, an interesting response, particularly in light of the fact I had read the same explanation elsewhere and asked our Mobil rep about it some time ago, got a totally confusing answer and then was referred to their “technical group” who responded, “Mobil no longer produces a suitable gear oil for the Porsche transmission. You should consider contacting a Porsche dealer for an appropriate replacement.”

Any thoughts?
