Thanks, there are quite a few specific wrenches and things needed, but it will still be much less then taking it to a mechanic, and I get to know my car a bit better! I will be attempting this soon.

Do you have a list of Porsche approved coolants? I want to return the one I got from Porsche, costing 53 dollars.

Get the collant replaced and use the right fluid. If you are not competent, have it done.

Do it now.

The car has 90G on it. Take care of it before it bites you back.

Good luck.
