Porsche ZF PDK oil pan and filter 

Thanks for the feedback. Happy to help.

Do a search for 'ZF 6HP transmission oil pan bolts' and you will get a bunch of options. You don't necessarily need the T30 wide head screws. You could easily go and source some M6 grade 8.8 screws of the correct length and use a washer that is wide enough. Then use a bit of loctite to secure.

Yes. Suggest you look at the servicing video I made (link below) for the exact process of testing temp etc. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f5FMuLzA89w.htmlsi=EsMxQFqrFZaTWLBW&t=673

Yes, for too hot or pressure problems. No sensor for fluid level. I'll be going over this stuff in the videos to come.

I can't help you there. I don't have any experience with the LSD. Porsche docs don't talk about a different oil, so personally I'd be just using the standard spec, that being Mobilube PTX Formula A (SAE 75W-90) or equivalent.

@@jeffrichardsoncardiy I have read the internet for some hours now and I cant find an definitive answer. I have a engine and gearbox from a 718 GT4 that is drained and gong into a racecar (not porsche). That gearbox have a "mechanical lsd" what that means I dont know...

@@teodortibblin9092 Unfortunately I don't have any experience with this so I can't offer any advice.

Honestly, I wouldn't bother dropping the pan. Unless it's leaking the seal will be good, and there is little point to checking the magnets. The small amount of debris build up will just continue, and cleaning makes no difference. Especially at that mileage. Changing the bolts won't do anything for you. Regarding the fluids, they are definitely different. I don't use the OE fluids as they are very expensive and this buys you nothing. It's the spec that counts. I use locally made 'Nulon' fluids here in Australia, but you just need to find a brand that makes the correct spec. Clutch oil is a specific type of ATF. It's normally talked about as FFL-3. Sometimes the manufacturer won't say this in the spec, but will list that it's suitable for the Porsche or ZF part number From the ZF fluid list it has: 1. Clutch section Fuchs Titan FFL-3 => ZF Oil No. 0671.090.534 (ZF LifeguardFluid 7.3 DCT) => Porsche Oil No. 999.917.080.00 Gear oil is fully synthetic 75W-90 hypoid gear oil. This is pretty easy to find as it's used in a lot of modern differentials. From the ZF fluid list it has: 2. Transmission section ExxonMobil Mobilube PTX 75W-90 => Porsche Oil No. 999.917.067.00 or => Porsche Oil No. 999.917.090.00

Thanks Jeff, your advice on not dropping the pan are my sentiments entirely. My Boxster leads a very sedate life, first owner was a woman who did 4k miles per year for 4 years, second owner had the car for 3 months (long story - blocked roof drains) and I have owned the car since Feb 2017. Being a marine engineer for 10 years then a shoreside engineer surveyor for over 30 years (and worked on cars for the same 40 years), I never see the point of rigidly sticking to a maintenance schedule unless there is an absolute need to. Thanks again. Your videos and advice are priceless.

@@keithhancock9647 More than happy to help.

One last question though, capacities. PDK transmission is 6 litres I think, how much is needed for the clutch oil?

@@keithhancock9647 Whilst there is a bit less than 6 litres in the clutch section, you will only get about half out. Have a look at the video I made on how to get the most out. This way you can get a little over 3 litres out. The gear oil section will allow you to drain most of it out, this being about 2.5 litres. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dTzK7xbZQyM.html
