Owner reviews for antifreeze

There is still enough coolant in your pictures, no need to top off

This is normal. Mazda master tech. I work on these everyday. Every oil change they need to be topped off. The coolant evaporates from the bottle pretty quick.

Drene e complete com um bom aditivo (fuja desses de mercado). Eu uso Coolant Petronas.

Prestone Max Violet is ok to use--it meets G12++ or TL774G which is fine to use with the G12evo in your car already.

I've mixed Peak Violet in with the OEM G12+. My car ran normal for several thousand miles like that.

Maybe I'm wrong, here, but that looks like rust to me.

Did the mech use green coolant, and not the factory VW red/pink/purple stuff? That would cause the cast iron short block to rust out in short order.

Use the OEM honda stuff. It's really nice.

Ford states it can be mixed with the older coolants, and we do that at the dealer here because ford approves it. We have not seen one problem happening from mixing.

My bolt needs the motor/transmission coolant replaced. Every 150k miles...

Yes, the documents say they are compatible - at the cost of losing some corrosion protection. Don\u2019t use G13 if you have a choice. G13 becomes acidic and causes leaks, and leaves deposits in the system which cause clogging. VW switched to G12evo for a reason.
