Anyone know a good link on how to do the flush? My car is an '02 S with 13k miles and still has the original coolant.

You might suck some out of the plastic tank to see what color it really is.

I have a question since we are talking about coolant. I noticed my boxster's coolant level is about 3/4" below the min level. No coolant light, but it's obviously low by looking at it. I just bought some distilled water and I'm probably just going to add a cup or two. I don't drive the car in really cold climes and sits in a heated garage....anybody see a problem with that? I don't think so. I'll probably flush the entire system soon anyway since it's almost 5 yrs old.

If I'm not wrong, I think there is 22 Liter of coolant in a boxster, so adding a cup or two of distilled water won't really change the mix ratio
