As title really - do I need to go to OPC for a bottle of coolant for my 01 Boxster or can I get something from Halfords or similar?

Which one does anyone recommend if not from OPC?

Thanks

Porsche don't make coolant.

You do need to find out exactly which OAT or HOAT or whatever your car needs.

Comma IIRC are quite often OEM.

Ended up doing a change and used the prestone one on the shelves at Costco. If you also do a change, leave it to the local shop cos it was rather a PITA from start to finish.
