YES!!! This info is critical for Macan owners. I changed my xfer case fluid at 57k miles (2017 GTS). It was FILTHY. I did not have any issues before or after the change and I used Redline MT-LV 50604. I have now driven the car for 5k miles with zero issues. Here's what I think I have figured out about our xfer cases - there is a wet clutch pack inside and the distance between the clutch plates is metered by a servo on the outside of the case. And here's the critical part - the fluid is non-newtonian. The more pressure applied to the fluid, the more viscous it becomes. The shearing forces on the fluid between the clutch plates causes it to stiffen up and transfer the power. I think that the fluid is doing most of the work and the clutch plates are doing less of the work. You know how Subaru promotes their "viscous coupling"? That's what we have. A big, expensive German viscous coupling. The fluid simply gets worn out and oxidized and degraded from heat over time. Changing it makes a lot of sense. Mine will be changed on a 25k mile interval now. Note - @santirx DIY cracked his xfer case drain plug hole. Be VERY careful when replacing the drain plug. It is not subject to any internal pressure and a new one comes with thread sealant on it. They're cheap if you shop around < $5. Factory torque spec is 15ftlb, next time I will set mine to 10ftlb. It is a tapered plug, proceed with care.

We change these early on all euro cars. Usually we change at 30-40k on a service and than the next oil service after every second oil service. It's cheap insurance.

It is covered by warranty

Yes, exactly. Promote this and scream from the hilltops. The Porsche service bulletin even says dirty fluid gets gummy and prevents the wet discs from contacting. Should be a 30k to 40k service, not 120k as owners manual says I did the same and my Macan now works fine. The Porsche dealership did a fluid change twice for me, driving a bit in between, to make sure all the gummy old fluid was out, and our from internal screens also. Mine when at 45k miles S fyi. 2017 macan S.

It is tricky making sure the Porsche oem fluid is properly leveled. That is why dealership did the flush twice as some fluid is very hard to get all out with just the drain plug. FYI. You all are the experts. Best of luck.

Porsche have a SERVICE CAMPAIGN WLE9 which replaces the transfer box fluid free of charge on next workshop fluid. I had my vehicle’s fluid replaced March 2021, which I’ve recently, Jan 2024, found out was carried out within transfer box extended 7 year warranty period. My vehicle, 12,000 miles later, is now exhibiting the take off vibration, speed bump symptoms. Now technically out side the 7 year warranty I approached CEO Porsche Cars Great Britain LTD, on the basis that the fluid change was carried out by them to hopefully mitigate failure of the transfer box, which I should point out was operating fine at that point, and that my transfer box was now exhibiting the symptoms previously mentioned, unfortunately Porsche Cars GB, deny any association of the fluid and transfer box problems stating neither are related and are separate issues am and have on that basis flatly refused to meet the cost of the transfer box replacement. I have written back to them ( March 24) stating that both issues are in deed related accusing them of corporate ‘Flimflam’ suggesting they reconsider their position. I’ve given them 7 days to do the right thing and change their mind, at which point I will escalate the matter should they don’t. Has anyone else experienced the same response under the same circumstances?
