My coolant is Green

[EdPrem]

So is the green Porsche antifreeze compatible with the pink Porsche antifreeze? I am low and want to top off. 2002 Boxster S

Per JFP, yes, the two different colored Porsche antifreezes are compatible -

Up until about 2003, everyone's Porsche coolant was green, and then they modified the formulation and it became a pink color. Fortunately, the pink stuff is completely compatible with the original Porsche green coolant.

The problem is that you don't know if the green stuff in your car is Porsche coolant, or Prestone.

You can take a sample of what is in the car and add some Porsche pink to it and mix it thoroughly, if it does not form crud, you should be fine.

Great tip! How long would it take to curdle?

Couple of hours, sooner if heated.

I don't think I'd mix antifreezes. On my 01, I just flushed it with O2 over a couple of weeks. First with tap water, and then with 2 rounds of distilled water. Drove it with water for a while. Then bought a bunch of VW coolant (cheaper.) At amazon. And 6 gallons of Walmart distilled water. Still have a couple of gallons of water left.

Gonna flush the Highlander when I do the timing belt, drive belts, and the water pump. Wish Aisan made kits for german cars, Amazon sells an entire kit for $160 using OEM parts.
