Look at the labels or the specs sheets. Porsche requires the use of gear oils meeting the "GL5" specifications. Not GL4, not One-size-fits-all, and definitely NOT anything containing MOSO2 or any other product that claims to be slippery. Friction based synchronizers are NOT fond of slippery, as it prevents their proper operation. Furthermore, even more on the downside, flushing will NOT remove the residue of such products. Replacement of the synchro bands will.
