Most of us like Burner's videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMkoxlm6mzI


I use Prestone Dexx-cool btw. The orange stuff.
When GM Dexcool came out, there were lots of issues with elastomer compatibility and degradation... Boxster design predates Dexcool so I would not take any risk. Just do it right with Porsche OEM coolant and forget about it, especially when you do not drain and fill 'lifetime' coolant very often, as long as the water pump stay healthy.
