Non-Porsche anti freeze/coolant

[Geof3]

Not a chance I would put Dex-cool in an engine, flushed or not. As mentioned the Porsche coolant is full strength, so two to one, basically. Not that much more expensive. The bigger discussion is actually getting all of the old coolant out, and then bleeding the system properly. There are numerous nooks and crannies in the coolant system with the rads up front, just something to be aware of and keep in mind. With all the other stuff that can mess with a drivetrain, I prefer to err and the slightly more exspensive side and use the fluids designed for the engine/trans. Yeah, the Porsche stuff is unicorn blood, but it is the right stuff, and that’s never a bad thing. Most likely never replace it again, and if so, maybe once. So value wise, no issue.

This guy has the whole issue down to a "T". What to use and how to do it. These two vids are a must see for anyone flushing and replacing coolant. This guy seems to really have his act together.

Seems like good old plain simple Prestone is the way to go.



By the way, that idiot "Scotty" on the YouTube above has to be the most annoying creature on the face of the earth. How the heck does anyone watch him at all?

I like Burner, but this video about coolant sure is long winded. Almost went to sleep!
