Doc I have taken test strips. Most cars have had there coolant topped off or replaced due to a hose failure or radiator failure. I had a customers car a few years back that had the green coolant. I used my test strips that I use for my Detroit (green)coolant. It was down 5%...

Doc are you running the green coolant? If you have the pink it's been refilled since delivery.

Nick, all I can tell you >> there is a difference between the two coolants. What>> I don't know. For myself and my customers there isn't enough difference in price NOT to buy the Genuine Porsche made by Zerex coolant.

Yes, it is the green OEM coolant that has been in the car since delivery 10.5 years ago. The water temperature still runs exactly where it has since I bought the car new, even in the very hot temperatures we've had this year in "Hotlanta". I've never needed to top it off.

Your car would be a prime "test mule" to use the test strips on.
