In anticipation of an eventual coolant flush, I grabbed a gallon of antifreeze (the pink stuff) from the dealership for $60.
I'm new to Porsche, and expect to pay a premium for "stuff", but you can't help feel there may be some good alternatives.

Dealer says its important to stay with the Porsche Antifreeze as problems have been reported using other types! Thoughts?

The Porsche stuff is really good. Another good brand is the stuff VW sells (blue).

 

The stuff I bought from the dealer was concentrate. I think it equals 3 gallons when all id said and done.

 

$60 seems high even from a dealer. I think i paid $30something from sunset porsche.

 

True--for a more reasonable price on parts suggest you try Sunset or Suncoast. (Oregon and Florida, respectively).

 

$26.00/gal + ship from suncoast.

 

Thanks guys .... Next time it'll be Suncoast!

And yes it was $58.26 to be exact, from the Dealer

I too paid the dealer between $55-60 for the Porsche coolant...live and learn.

 

Sunset and Suncoast are the key:
