The Porsche coolant (pink stuff) is uncut - you need to mix it with an equal quantity of (preferably distilled) water before putting it in your car. With that in mind, it's really not that expensive compared to Prestone and others (last time I checked they were selling Prestone as a pre-cut 50/50 mix)...

DexCool... if you use it, be sure to flush the stock coolant out (preferably flush it twice!) and change it when you get about 100,000 miles on it. After that you risk it turning into a thick gel...
