Owner reviews for antifreeze

G12/13 has better lubricating properties over long periods of time, which is why they use it in what you always hear as "lifetime fill." This is due to the phosphates in the coolant.

I personally will only ever run G12 or Motul equivalent in my VW.

Buy 5L Vaico brand G13. Flush the system several times with distilled water. Then drain and purge with compressed air. Disconnect the heater core lines. Then pour in all 5L of pure antifreeze, and top off with distilled water.

The Prestone stuff works just fine and there shouldn't really be an issue.

I use it in my Audi, VW and KTM Adventure without any problems.

This is exactly what I bought Vaico VA-013

I buy Castrol Hysol MB 50 for our machines. Works great for Aluminum and doesn't stink or foam.

There's Zerex (Valvoline) Asian car coolant (prediluted) that's made in 2 colors, blue and red, and it's supposed to be compatible

Call Valvoline (Zerex), which makes both green and Asian coolants. Most likely the green you bought is not like the green sold 20 years ago.

Use the specified coolant I would use the specified coolant for the vehicle in which you drive and always use distilled/deionized water foreign or domestic! The cuts down on deposits and electrolysis from corrosion from using tap/ground water and or the incorrect coolant.
