Dmitry - I'm not mmorris9492 - but he owns a 2011 Cayman. That is a 987.2 NOT a 986. And PDK wasn't available on the 986 models.

NMorris - to answer your question - there are two oils used in the PDK transmission. One lubricates the clutch and control circuits. That's the expensive oil - dual-clutch FFL-3 and the transmission takes about 5.2 liters of it - meaning you must buy 6. Dunno what Pelican charges for it, but the cheapest I've seen it for sale is around $25/liter - so $150 worth of oil. To change that oil your need a PIWIS, Durametric or another device capable of reading the transmission temperature. The other oil lubricates the gears - it's a simple hypoid gear oil, available from lots of vendors - and no particular preference on that.
