I've used this stuff before in other cars and have been impressed. Anybody running this? Is it a good fit for the 901 transaxle?

Do a search here, this has been discussed ad nauseum. The general consensus is that the older Porsche transmissions, including the 901, have syncros that need more friction to work properly and modern synthetic oils just can't provide that. Any good ole dino oil should do. Personally, i like Swepco 201. And be prepared for some heated comments here shortly, since talking oil is right up there with religion, politics and the /6 vs. /4 debates. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) |
