About every 36000 miles or so. Even thou you have DexCool, which is recommended every 100k miles, don't do it. DexCool is death for a engine. Wish GM would just get rid of it, and go back to the good old reliable antifreeze.

Where to add coolant in porsche944?
The 944 cooling system is a closed system. There is no radiator cap. Coolant should be added to the cloudy plastic overflow tank in the engine bay on the drivers side. With the car cool, add coolant until the tank is full. Start the engine, and continue adding coolant until maintains the level at the full line. When the system is full, close the cap. There is a bleeder screw (8mm head?) on the coolant outlet on the front of the head of the engine. It is near the distributor, at the highest point of the engine. Loosen the screw (it is actually a banjo bolt) a few turns to let out as much air as possible. Tighten it when only coolant comes out. You are done!
