2nd request
Does anyone have any recommendations for the type of tranny fluid to use in a tiptronice transmission besides the OEM porsche fluid?

I personally like either, Pentosin, or the VW/Audi AG factory product (pt#G052162A2) for the ZF manufactured transmissions.

How do I tell if it is a ZF mfg tranny. Mine is a base MY00

You've got a ZF tip gearbox on a base MY00. If you look at the side trans, I forget which one, there is the POrsche indicators on it with a ZF stamping.

All the trannies are actaulyl ZFs. ZF lists on their website

what should be used. The fluids - packaged by various firms and under several brands, are all the same - and i believe made by or to the specs of esso. Audi, Porsche and BMW all have a fluid. I used Audi fluid - it doesn't cost that much.

Do not use normal ATF - even a magic brand. Magic is not listed in ZF's specs :-)

Has anyone used Mobil 1 ATF? If so, how was it?

LT 71141 fluid.

Do not use any random magic auto tranny fluid just because it sounds "good". Good means the right blend for these trannies. Damage can result!
