Advantages of using porsche coolant over generic prestone?
Bought my replacement coolant tank and wondered if I need to shell out $$ to pick up porsche or purple coolant instead of off the shelf prestone.
Thanks,

My dealer is a Porsche/BMW/VW dealer. When I stopped by to get some coolant, the parts guy dropped one gallon of Porsche stuff and one gallon of VW/Audi stuff on the counter and said they were the same. The VW part number is G 012 A8FA4 and was $21 versus $50 for the Porsche.

Coolant
I am the Technical Manager for Prestone coolants. Our all makes, all models coolant is compatible with your factory fill and will not change the color of your current coolant. I looked up the specs for the ELF factory fill, it is a OAT (Organic Acid technology) long life coolant exactly like the Prestone product I am recommending. Our product meets or exceeds all ASTM standards that Porsche requires. You can get it anywhere for around 10$ for premixed 50/50 and 12.50 for concentrate. If you do buy concentrate, make sure to only mix it with demineralized or deionized water. If you have any other questions, please email me at Jay.Buckley@Honeywell.com

Im not a coolant expert but I dont think the G12 Vw/Audi coolant G012A8FA4 is the same as the G30 porsche stuff, (G-30-91 EF)
