My reservoir is at min, so I went by the stealership to grab a pint and the guy at the parts counter tells me that it only comes in gallon sizes at $60 a pop.
When did they stop selling the liters for $14?
I don't need that much...what are my options?

Aaron,
Just add distilled water it's fine. If you worry about not having enough lubrication for the water pump add a Redlin water wetter in there in addition to the distilled water. Whenever I flush the coolant system I always just use 100% distilled water + Redline water wetter.

I think my dealer charged me $35/gallon in NJ.

Porsche has come up with a new hybrid engine that actually runs on WATER and AIR. Very cutting edge! ![thumbup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/thumbup.gif)
I'm hesitant to use this b/c Loren has voiced some issues that mixing coolants could result in something he refers to as "jello". He did not say what flavor jello it might be, but none the less, I like to keep my jello in the fridge and not my radiator.

Can I get the Redline locally, or do I have to order it?
Ed,
Whatever I have left, I will send to you. Maybe you can use it in your GT2?

My coolant likes to sit right below min level.
I've added coolant and it will go back down to the same level the next day after a check it. It doesn't however dip any lower.
Just letting you know, your car may be the same.

If I am not mistaken you can pick up the Redline water wetter from Autozone, or Pepboys.
In your case, I wouldn't even worry about it. Just add the distilled water in your reservoir and you are done. There are still plenty of antifreeze in your cooling system to lubricate the water pump.

I saw a white GTS today, really like the way it looks. I think that would be our next Cayenne.
