Recommended Oil for 996 gearbox?
Hey folks,
I'm taking my '99 into the shop next week for its 60k service. I'd like to do a fluid flush at the same time and am wondering if there's a concensus on which lube to use in a 996 6-speed transmission?

Many thanks!

I recommend the Swepco 201 for the street, and if you are going to use it more for the track then go to Swepco 210.

Hope that this helps,

i made the mistake of using mobil 1 synthetic LS. It was too stiff when cold. i went back to the factory fluid and am very happy. it is pricy, about $30/liter.
