It has been, however you are not seeing it. The parts guy is correct, you should not mix brands. The service writer is also correct, if somewhat vague in how he is phrasing it; he appears to be talking about the Porsche coolant by color (e.g.: Don't use the green, use the later pink).

And just as a reference point, in general, service writers are the last ones to ask technical questions; most end up on the service desk because they lack the skills to work in the shop. Parts guys, on the other hand, learn from experience what works and what to avoid.

And if the dealer does not want to do the change out, you are money ahead as doing it yourself is one of the easiest maintenance projects short of an oil change on these cars...........
