I'm not looking for Porsche "approved" coolants, by the way.
In that case, use whatever you want.................

And, by-the-by, when I searched for the use of that brand, I found multiple threads containing information…………………..

So then, you couldn't find an answer to this question that's been asked so many times. Cool.

To ask another way, and hopefully this will result in a helpful response: will using Pentosin coolant harm/gel/generally screw up the cooling system if it's flushed in the way I listed earlier?

I found about three that actually contained information about coolant, and the information in those is pretty much limited to people thinking that Porsche coolant is rebranded Pentosin, but nothing more.

Did you find something different, or are you just being difficult out of boredom?

it doesnt hurt just to answer his question either... some people (like myself) wouldnt mind knowing and when i see this thread and read through to find out someone just wanted to be a troll


على كل حال
"anyways"

according to Jmatta

"My Porsche shop uses Pentosin, which is Porsche approved and less than the stuff the dealer sells."


and blue2000s

" use Pentosin Lifetime myself, but they're all the same if they're on that list."


and here is a link to a page u can read bout it
