Coolant?
 

I need to add coolant to my car. Is there a specific brand that I need to use? I have 06 987s.

Thanks

I called the dealer (my closest dealer is 4 hours away) and he said anything that said lifetime on it was acceptable (prestone). I am still a little hesitant and my car needs coolant also. What say anybody else? I don't have the time right now to drive 4 hours.

Hi,

What you want is a Silicate-Free coolant such as Prestone 5/150 or such. Really, any Silicate-Free coolant is compatible. Silicate-Free coolants generally are labelled as "Extended Life", and will always have the words "Silicate-Free" on the label. Be sure you use Distilled Water when you mix it up! Hope this helps...

OK...dumb question...how do I know if I need to add any coolant!

Bolkar, why do you need coolant already?

Bmus,

Open the trunk, look at the coolant resevoir on the right hand side. There are min and max lines.

That piece of plastic is almost opaq, is very hard to see the liquid behind. Finally couple days ago I got a warning to check my coolant level.

if it is just a little bit low, you can add distilled water only to get it over the min level. i suggest letting the car sit over night, so the coolant goes to the lowest level. then add enough distilled water to get it over the min mark.
