Couple of points:

1. Swepco is not the OEM fill.
2. Porsche uses a unique spec for their gear oil; so unusual that a couple of major manufacturer’s have actually said they have no direct match for it.
3. Several small time blender’s claim to have a match; they don’t.
4. We have had customer’s try just about everything out there; nothing shifts as well as the OEM fill.
5. Several customer’s that have tried other products and encountered poor shifting, noise, etc. all had their problems go away when the car was switched back to the OEM fill.
6. The OEM fill is a bit more expensive, but it is a full synthetic, and it works.
