When switched back to the factory lube, the problems disappeared. So while the lube may cost a bit more, it does work.

I bought the Porsche oil based on the posts read here - many from you on the virtues of the special OEM oil. Really was wondering what would cost $15 for 3 liters. Looked, but did not find the LN part at Sunset. Thanks for your input - I've learned a lot here in the past two years from many.

Sunset does not sell LN parts, but they are one of the lowest cost Porsche parts dealers in the country.

Porsche gear oil price is based upon being a low production volume item; no one else makes the same products for that reason, there just aren't enough sales volume to justify making a substitute.
