Gear oil for 5-speed

[lkchris]

How about a 2022 thread to ask for sources for this hard to find fluid?

 

Leads welcome and thanks in advance.

 

BTW ... isn't this usually described as a transmission from Audi?  Is there an Audi part number for this fluid?  Audi sources?

Simple: Your Porsche dealer.

Call Sunset or I recently posted a thread from Rennlist with a supplier who sells it by smaller quantities.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should aftermarket fluid be used.

 

It is not described as Audi fluid, it has its own Porsche part #.  Sunset also sells Audi parts (they are Audi Beaverton) and the part number is completely different.  Do not try to take shortcuts thinking the fluids may be the exact same as the consequences are very punitive.  It's not worth the risk to save a few dollars IMHO and I know first hand having had to rebuild a gearbox due to the previous owner lying and using aftermarket fluid.
