Project 29: from the 101 Projects for your Porsche Boxster book

The coolant has never been changed in my 1998 Porsche Boxster 986, so I decided it was time! just over 62,000 miles on her. Did a little research and then created this DIY to try and help you by showing what's involved.

I used the Porsche brand coolant just to be safe. I got 2 gallons to mix with 2 gallons of distilled water. Picked them up from Renn Part. https://rennpart.com/product/coolant-1l/

I used this cooling system refill kit and my air compressor to put the new coolant in to prevent air bubbles.
