What chemistry do you use for Portra and is that what you use for other C41 films?

I use the Tetenal liquid C-41 kits for all my color film, which is basically Portra 160/400 with occasional other stuff.
What do you want to know about it?

I've got a lot of 4x5 Portra stashed away in the freezer (a lot is relative of course. Probably 2 or 3 boxes at most and 60 or 70 35mm rolls) and I want to shoot more color 4x5 images this year. Other than the two negs that I processed a few days ago I haven't shot or processed much color. I use a Jobo CPE2. The trade name on the kit that I used for the two negs was Mydonal. I don't know if that's adequate, good, or bad so I thought I would see what the consensus is for C41.
Never heard of Mydonal.
The type of film is irrelevant, c41 is c41. I use Tetenal and used kodak chemicals prior to that.

That's what concerned me. Tetenal and a few others show up in searches and on vendor websites. Nothing comes up for Mydonal.
Never heard of Mydonal, but if you have mixing instructions and it works use it all up then switch to the
Tetenal C-41 chems, I've used their small press kits with success.

I am using the Kodak Flexicolor currently. I was using Tetenal previously. Both seem to work fine.

I'm using Fujifilm CN-16 Neg N1-MV developer, N2-R bleach, along with the fixer and stabilizer. Very easy to mix (single concentrate).
