Checked with the dealer and they said now they just use their G40 on all models.
$35.00 a jug of 3.78 litres of concentrate, so not much more expensive then other options.
So really the most important part of this will be flush and not so much the coolant as long as its compatible.
Parts guy there was nice enough to call back after and he said he asked the tech for some extra detail who said this new G40 is the same Zerex G12 formulation and backwards compatible in the event that not all the fluid is completely flushed out. Good news anyway, and thanks for the replies and info really appreciate this forum!

This was what the parts guy quoted me at PFAFF Porsche Centre Vaughan.

3.78 litres for $35.35+ tax = $39.94 for a jug of concentrate.

I'll probably pickup 4 jugs next week if heading down to the city.

Sounds the same as any other brand, but this is the new G40 Porsche formulation.
