Also where did you get the brand A from? The Porsche dealer here doesn't even carry it. He told me to use Mobil 1. I didn't like that response.

Hands-down the Porsche oil is much better, especially when the system is cold. With Royal Purple going into second was always stiff before the motor warmed-up. With the Porsche oil shifting is smoother in all gears and the down-shifts are better, plus it doesn't have the pungent odor that other gear lubes have!

I used swepco 210 and had the same result as Jager. Works fine for me when hot, but cold mornings are not so smooth, definitely worse than the OEM fluid.
