LB, I'm not referring to the outside temp in NO when I say take a cold reading. I mean take the reading before you drive your car for any distance. Just like an engine, the air in your tires will heat up when you drive your Box, which causes it to expand. Your pressure will then show a higher number if you measure it after driving the car (expanded air = higher psi).
As far as the fluids go, in most cases Porsches require synthetic oils (oil, pwr strg, etc). The antifreeze is typical European in that it doesn't contain phosphates but most of the popular brands sold in parts stores contain phosphates, so they won't work (even if you drain all the antifreeze and replace with phosphate a/f). In general, what your Dad may have in his garage probably won't be the proper fluid for your Porsche.
