Coolant

[Todera]

Just wanted to make sure I received the correct coolant from the dealer for my 2004 C2 as the part # differs from the one listed in the 3rd radiator DIY. The part number on the invoice is 000-043-301-05 Also from the clear level indicator strip on the side of the jug the coolant appears red (red coolant is nothing new but I removed green coolant from the car). Can the coolants be mixed with no ill effect or do I have to drain/flush? Oh, and that stuff is expensive….

Color should not be an issue Porsche says you can mix them (their coolants only).

What ever you put in do not ovefill it. Use a straw or turkey baster

to get the fluid out.

I have an '01 Boxster S with 12,000 miles. (2 kids so it won't get much use til they go to college. '01 Odyssey has 85,000 miles. :lol: ) The coolant is just below the Min mark, hasn't needed any in 6 years. I see the owner's manual recommends only Porsche coolant (big surprise). What is so different about their coolant? No one else make high grade coolant? I lived overseas for 15 yrs. While I was away, synthetic oil became better than the regular kind. What happened to coolant? Geez, you take your eye off the ball for a little while and everything is different. ;)
