Maintenance: transmission fluid quantity / coil advice
I'm going to have some maintenance done soon and I want to order some supplies. I want to make sure I have exactly what I need so the shop doesn't have to stop in the middle and wait on reordering more/different items.
1. Which fluids exactly do I need for the transmission and how much? As far as I can tell, 4 liters of PTX (or should I do 5?) and 1 liter of Porsche OEM front axle oil is all I need for that?
2. I was wanting to order these coils and plugs:

but I've heard that one of the coils needs to be the shorter, older style or it will have clearance issues. I'd like to order this package from FCP but I also don't want to have the mechanic get halfway through the job and realize we need to order a different coil. Is this coil + plug package good to go? It's an 09 6mt, if it makes a difference.
TL; DR: Tell me what exactly to buy for an upcoming plugs/coils job and transmission fluid change.

When I changed my transmission fluids several months ago, I ordered 5 of the Porsche oem fluids (000-043-305-49) but only used 4. I also used 1 liter of the fluid you listed for the awd controller.
On the spark plugs, I used 2 of the OEM type for the tight spaces - driver side nearest to the front and passenger side nearest the front. I used the Bosch 0986221016 coil but it may be hard to find as I think it's been discontinued. My car is a 2007 997.1

I would use Porsche OEM trans fluid.
