996 GT3 Cup Diff Transmission Oil

[PRO 5T]

Any recommendations?

I've been told to run 75W-90 in mine, it's really only done a few hundred miles since it's last full service in 2022 so I figured while I'm changing fluids I'd do the transmission as well.

I can get Millers in the above flavour but I read in some internet posts that we shouldn't be using LS additive transmission oils with cars using a Cup or plated diff, especially if using on track.

I've got a €7k invoice from Manthey for the gearbox rebuild but it only states Motorsport oil when ran through translation!

I think the standard answer is Mobil PTX 75w-90, which is exactly what PARR told me this morning they’ll have put in it at the last service.

Problem is it looks like most places only have that in workshops in big drums, not in 5L tins that we’d need.

I'm also looking at this and from research on Rennlist, and here, it looks like PTX if you have standard GT3 LSD, SHC (Delvac in USA) if you have cup/motorsport built LSD. I've just bought the SHC from Opie as this looks to be what is currently in mine (cup diff).

Good info! How many litres are we expected to use? on a gearbox drain and re-fill?
