Tip Fluid Mobil Synthetic 1 ATF Question

2003 C2; From what data I have read, the Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF meets/exceeds the ATF 3353 OEM requirement for the Tiptronic. Anyone have any experience w/this ATF?
Thanks,
Denny

Hi Split..I tried a PM but because of me being a newbe w/limited posts it kicked me out so here's what I found today:
After reviewing numerous forum(s) replies, I did go w/Porsche OEM fluid. It took 5.75 qts. w/a filter. Get ready in the $$$ department, the P/N# 999.917.547.50 fluid listed our at $26.53 each (I suppose I could of found it cheaper, but the Porsche independent I use is very good and I trust them so what the hell).
One interesting note, this is the 1st Tip service the car has received, my '03 has 33K on the odo. The fluid, pan & magnet was very clean. The car resides in the Los Angeles area, gets plenty of traffic, and has no track time etc. The maintenance schedule for the Tip service is a strech to say the least however judging by what I saw today, the transmission will go quite a long ways between services. I'll stick to the every 30K dealio anyway.
Hope it helps,
Denny
