These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm a little low on coolant and want to add some this weekend but all the local porsche dealers are closed. Any recommendations for non-oem coolant to use?

POST 2Original post

Pentosin G 012. Available at VW and Audi dealers, but they're probably closed too. A few auto parts stores carry Pentosin. There are a few coolants now on the market that claim to be compatible with any car, but I personally would not risk it.

POST 4Original post

DEX-COOL anti-freeze is also a good choice over Porsche or VW branded G12 Coolant. It is much less expensive and is available at most auto parts stores and mass merchants. Click here to read the Technical Description of DEX-COOL.

POST 5Original post

Ive been told that unless you totally flush your system you should only add porsche coolant to a porsche.

POST 6Original post

I use VW pink and distilled water. Change during oil changes. 101 degrees F yesterday in paradise. Regards,

POST 7Original post

You can also add PEAK Long Life 50/50 to the Porsche with no problems whether you flush or simply add to whats in there. Most auto stores carry it including Napa.

POST 8Original post

This statement really means that mixing G12 and non-G12 should not be done. Mixing G12 compatible coolants does not present a problem. The idea that only Porsche branded coolant should be used in Porsches was made with same intent of the instructions on your shampoo that says "lather, rinse, lather again".....

POST 9Original post

I top up with Redline Water Wetter. Maybe snake oil...but people think highly of it, and I never heard of anything against it on the forums. thanks, Amir

POST 10Original post

Water Wetter is a great product, used it back in the day racing Ford V8s. Didn't know that Redline made it too. Be aware that it provides NO anti-freeze protecxtion, but considering that its July and OP lives in California, that shouldn't be a problem.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
