Default Porsche pink coolant
Hey guys,
I'm going for a little drive and need to top off my coolant. Is there a brand I can buy from Canadian tire that is compatible with porsche's pink coolant?
TIA

How much do you need to top off? If it's not much then just use plain distilled water, it won't affect the mix ratio that much.

if it's less than a litre, deionized ormdistilled water will be fine. Deionized water is $2/4L ar CT or PS.

Distilled water or G12 only...

Audi sells it too. Not that they are open today.

Thank you for your kind offer but I stayed local today. I'll visit my Indy on Monday and grab an extra jug just in case. Thanks to everyone else for the info.

When a water pump is replaced and you loose couple of gallons of collant do you replace it with a mix of 50/50 or just the concentraded Porsche coolant .
