There is no such thing as lifetime antifreeze. The fluid may last a lifetime, but not the **** in the coolin. system. Changing it every 3 years of so is highly recommended to flush out al the crap.1 point

The coolant container use to have Elf on it then Arteco, due to name change. Now the only name on it is Porsche. Arteco is a joint venture b/w Texaco and the euro chemical company Elf that was entered into in 1998 according to their website. I asked US Chevron/Texaco several years ago if I could buy an equal product at any normal car parts place. Chevron contaced europe. Havoline and Chevron Dex-Cool extended life meets the requirements of Porsche but "are not yet approved." This is the email response I received. "Subject: RE: Coolant for Porsche Boxster Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2002 06:07:47 -0700 From: "Dusing, William N" To: "'Jeff Lopez'" Jeff, The ChevronTexaco products in the US that meet the performance requirements of Porsche, but not yet approved are as follows: Havoline® DEX-COOL® Extended Life Anti-Freeze/Coolant Chevron DEX-COOL® Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant Hope this helps! Thanks, Bill" Like Porsche is ever going to approve something something I can buy at any parts place for a fraction of the cost. I am on one of the UK Boxster boards. In the UK Mobil sells a coolant approved by Porsche. Do not think Mobil sells coolant in the US. Guess Mobil got the approval because they already pay Porsche for the Mobil 1 sticker under the rear lid. :rolleyes:1 point
