For those of you eagerly anticipating the exciting conclusion to my critically-acclaimed "987 Coolant loss FYI" post...
987 coolant loss FYI
...Previously I'd been adding only distilled water but since I figured at the rate it was dissipating I'd soon have a weakened mix suitable for drinking, I managed to scrounge up an extra
$56.37 in loose change between the cushions of my sofa and went over to Pioneer Porsche for some Porsche coolant.."the good stuff".
As one of the few Boxster owners silly enough to spend that kind of money on coolant I thought I'd share the secret recipe, so you can compare it against your engine-beverage of choice, a debate that comes up from time to time on Boxster boards, and possibly save yourself a buck or two...or fourty-six.
Contains: Ethylene glycol (107-21-1), Diethylene glycol (111-46-6), Sebacic acid (111-20-6), Sodium hydroxide (1310-73-2), Water (7732-18-5), Corrosion inhibitors, defoamer, silicates, and dyes.
Yes, the rumors are true. The coolant is pink in color.
A picture of the Holy Grail is attached, which doesn't show much other than the Porsche coolant is as suitable for human consumption as Prestone.
It's obviously a(nother) busy day at the office !
