to have to spend $150 on coolant is borderline criminal
I ain't gonna use anything except for distilled water. At Wallyworld, a buck a gallon.
For $3.00, it simply isn't worth it to use tap water

The new WP, thermostat and coolant came in today and I'm borrowing a airlift to fill her up after I replace the parts this weekend

My car has had non-Porsche (green) coolant in it for the past 50k miles. I recently did the WP and everything combo too, and chose to go with Prestone. Haven't had any problem so far.
