I read many things about ATF fluids in our 996 but never heard about DEXRON III in these Tiptros. I checked approved ATF fluids by Porsche, there are many but not DEXRON.
I asked the mechanic and he said "I always put DEXRON III, no problem".
I tried to look more and it appears that Dexron II was approved for Tiptros in 993 series. But not for 996 series.
Do you think it could be a problem?
Do you think I should be drained again to put an explicitly approved oil?
many thanks

I am not aware of any approvals for Dextron in these transmissions.
