If you were in stop and go traffic then it looks about right. It should come down to 180 - 190 with speed.

You might want to make sure your radiators are clear of debris (leaves, paper, dead birds, etc.)

thank you sir

no debris in the front ...

not having porsche antifreeze is ok ????

As long as the antifreeze is organic antifreeze made for alloy engines.

try to find on line the specs of the antifreeze you are using and see if it matches porsche specs.
