the right sythetic is fine, I got about 80K miles on redline sythetic in mine, and that is in a tranny that did not shift well, until I switched oil, it was really like a mechanic in a can. no kidding,
just dont buy any old sythetic, just as you would not buy any old dino gear oil, your tranny has many functions, it is a gear box with requirements for the Porsche style syncronizers, and it is also a differential, with the special needs there. Redline offer many formulas of gear oil they make one specifically for Porsche transaxles (remember you got to lube the gears and the differential) I'd go to redlines webiste and read up which product to use, i know some time ago they changed some of the names, so I dont want to be quoated wrong, so check the website. it really is good stuff, solve a very bad shifting clash probelm, plus it is much much eaiser to shift when cold in the winter than before. 80K miles and still that 'dead" tranny is working fine. good luck |
