G 50 trans fluid
Maybe I am over complicating this. I want to change the transmission fluid in a G50 with LSD. The Porsche approved, Mobilube PTX, is unobtainable to mere mortals (maybe through the dealer?). Is Mobil 1 75W 90 LS basically the same stuff? I am sold on the fact that PTX is designed for Porsche. I also like the lower viscosity when cold.
Does it really make a difference? Advice, thoughts, experience appreciated. Thanks, Chris 1989 G50 Carrera

I used the Mobile one when my 88 was a street car without issues. As I recall It was Mobile one for the G50 and Swepco for the 915.

Went with Mobil 1 75 W 90 LS.
Shifts very smooth. A little easier than before. Hopeful it shifts easier when below freezing out as previously it did not like to go into 2nd on the first try. Will see. Chris 89 Carrera Saw this on another thread:
