When you go to do the transmission hydraulic oil change make sure you remove the FILL plug first then the drain plug . That saves you the headache of having an empty trans with no way to fill it . And of the choices you have available I would go with the Castrol as long as it has the proper rating .

Congrats on the purchase. I installed a name brand short shifter into my Boxster about 2 weeks after buying it. It was slightly harder to shift, but the quick fix to that was a fresh oil change. I filled my gear box with Redline 75w90 full synthetic with Redline friction modifier. Transmission shift like butter now
