I'm just looking up spec sheets on the web - I don't have any special sources. The spec sheet for that oil you just mentioned says:

Viscosity at 104F: 76.0
Viscosity at 212F: 15.4
Viscosity index: 211

Thanks for mentioning this - that actually looks even closer to Porsche Spec than the Lubri-Moly GL-5... but it's GL-4, not GL-5, which many people on the web claim is a good thing in these transmissions because apparently GL-5 can wear copper bits, and our transmissions have those?

Have you used the Motorcraft Synthetic 75w-90?

I'm sure there are other specs that are also important and I know very little about oil.
