Since you are in a cold climate and get sub freezing temps, you don't want top add a lot of water. A cup or 2 is fine. Beyond that , get some Porsche coolant and mix up some to top off your tank.

****** Warning******* do not mix different coolant types, make sure what ever you are adding is the same type as what is in there, otherwise you could make goo
The temp was barely over the second "100" dash. It was a slow flash which, according to this post, means low coolant. Looking at the coolant level window seems to confirm that - it's just below the "Min" line.

How can I tell what the current coolant is? I certainly don't want to make goo!

Thanks for the info!
