Country Time with a sprig of mint. Make sure you get the sugar free and only use distilled water.

Sunset vs Local Dealer

Just purchased a gallon at my local Porsche dealer (Jackie Cooper) in Tulsa on my lunch hour. $48.88 + tax = $53.04.

Sunset with shipping to OK was not a savings. Too bad - I like to give them the business.

OEM equivalent coolant

For those of us living in Canada, you can use this from Canadian Tire OEM Vehicle Specific Coolant, Volkswagon, Audi | Canadian Tire

I know that the Porsche/VW/Audi version is imported from Europe, but not sure who the specific manufacturer is. I haven't used this on my Boxster, but I used some of their other versions in other cars and all I can say is that they sure have some pretty colors

Wow. At that price it is a steel.
