I'll Google it, but what is a sign of a gel issue? I admit, I'm not much of a mechanic, but I've never heard of antifreeze doing that. I don't know what is in the car now - the last service on the...

Bye, Chuck! I believe I played a small part in the value of your sold Boxster. Hope that stereo head unit worked out for you.

Agreed. I'm having the IMS bearing changed out in a few months, so the oil will be changed then. Only about 1K miles on the current change, so I think it's okay.
