Changed the antifreeze in my '02S for the first time last year, six months after I bought the car. Didn't look too bad - until I removed it all. Then I was so glad I made the decision to replace it.

So, yes, change it asap. Stick with the Porsche product (and don't forget the distilled water). Yes, it's a little pricey, but you're not using that much and not changing it that often. Is it worth trying to "save" $30-$40 by buying non-Porsche product? Many people in this forum say yes. To me, taking a chance on a non-OEM product is false economy, in this instance.

Save the money elsewhere, like shopping hard for pricey parts, but from known sources. You'll have plenty of parts to buy. Dig in, push the envelope on your wrenching ability (not hard for me to do) and do as much work on your car yourself as you can. These are the ways I keep my R&M costs manageable.
