Hi,
How can you say that? These are just estimates because the needle will be in-between the hash marks.
The minimum mix you want with your coolant is 50/50. Any lower, and you're reducing the lubricating and anti-corrosive qualities of the mix which will have consequences down the road. Your Boxster isn't any different than anyone else's, if you're running Hot, you need to identify and eliminate the cause, not try to compensate for it. Besides, there's nothing wrong with 103°C, at this temp, and at pressure, the coolant is still a liquid (below boiling point) and providing maximum cooling...
