Are Esso LT 71141 and Pentosin ATF-1 the same rebranded fluid, or are there differences between them? Your "don't mix" warning had me a bit concerned, as mixing is inherent to this process; even flushing 3.5L 3 times will still leave about 20% of the original fluid in. However, a Porsche TSB states that both of these ATFs are approved for 986 tips and can be mixed... so does it matter what the original fill was, can either be used for the 3.5L "flush"?

If Porsche is telling you it is Ok to mix, then I would be Ok with that. You make a good point about remaining fluid in the transmission.
Always check the latest parts information regarding fluid specifications, as they are updated periodically.
