Scott I get what little Swepco I use from a Porsche shop near me as they have a 30 gal drum of it. I have used the Swepco 201 and I am told the 203 is the same with moly added.

paragon-products.com has 201 cheaper..but pelican's site states some of the differences...

The debate will still rage on, as there is no magic bullet one size fits all oil for tranny's. So depends on ambient temp and HP and trans condition and usage and... That and the 201 is greenish blue and the color is cool looking..
