1) These cars have over 7 gallons of coolant in them. Simple match, converted to metric.
2) Again, 200-400 mls of distilled water is not going to change the freeze point and mix ratio.
3) Our caps are super easy to remove, and re-thread. Especially when compared to my prior 986/996 and 987/997 cars.....those were a bitch by comparison.

Even so, where do you find it written that the car has 7 gallons or over in it? I don't see it recorded in the Porsche manual nor can I find it referenced by Porsche on line.
Given the number of complaints about leaking coolant, I think it would be helpful to record the % loss of fluid over a given number of miles. I can't do that without an "official" denominator.
Also, my coolant tank cap has some kind of strong detent at it's beginning point (or ending point) such that it requires significant force to push past the detent either on opening or locking the cap. With a noticeable snapping sound upon closing.
I'm going to ask the dealer about that.

Seems like everything is ok now. Niello told me they just didnt add enough coolant. Seems like a deviation from the expected standard of care, but perhaps I am expecting too much. Since they are the only dealer in the Sacramento area the dont have to be good to have business. I appreciate all of your comments and feedback, thank you all.
