tip trans fluid, where to find outside of dealer

[kkswow12]

hi, i can't seem to find a cross reference to the shell product, being in germany seems to present unique challenges for me and my german car...not being fluent in german, i am constantly second guessing myself as to what i am being told and am frustrated at the lack of transparency i feel from the 'locals'...anyway, enough about me,,, what are my options ,or, what are my cars options for trans fluid, can someone give me product #'s for the tip in the tt, i understand it is different from the n/a car's tips, thanks in advance, kk

You know, I had this problem as well when I changed out my tip oil and filter. I decided that the chances of ever having to do another fluid change was so small that i would just use the Porsche recommended fluid. Its expensive but it lasts for tens and tens of thousand miles. I didn't want to take the chance and have the OPC send the oil away just to find it was the incorrect grade. At the time I had a warranty. But still its just worth it IMO.
