Default performing coolant flush

Hello

I am wondering if anyone who did their coolant flush on their 996 willing to share instruction for doing it correctly. I am only familiar with Mercedes car which only require 2 gallons and front engine unlike our 996 almost 6 gallons??

Thanks
Bill

Here's how I do it:

1. Call mechanic.
2. Book appointment.
3. Consider other maintenance that could be done while I'm there.
4. Consider upgrades and mods that could be done while I'm there.
5. Watch simple maintenance task blossom into a full, MasterCard smokin' day.
6. Fret at the office, sulking at my empty parking spot.
7. Pick up car, which now seems to have hundreds of additional horsepower and to be strangely smoother.


(Just bumping this thread for you. Sorry I couldn't actually be helpful!)

There's another non rennlist link that has what you need, I think. Wish I could help, but I haven't posted enough on here for me to get u that info. I guess they want to make sure I ain't here just to sell something.
If u can figure out how to e-mail me, I'll give you the link...it's on another porsche forum, if that helps.
