Over the years, we have literally lost count of how many gear oil changes we have had to make for customers that switched to the aftermarket, only to find shifting issues when the weather turned cold. 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.
