I use peak violet european formula in my mk8 R.
Pentosin Pentofrost
I use Peak, and I think they recommend the violet stuff.
I just use peak pink made for Alfa Romeo and European vehicles overall and it works fine!
I use the blue antifreeze (G11) that was specified for my 1987 16V. I am currently running 10W40 synthetic oil.
I use Pentofrost (Pentosin is the OEM supplier to Porsche). Our local NAPA carries it even.
I've mixed Peak Violet in with the OEM G12+. My car ran normal for several thousand miles like that.
coolant is always best. I would get rid of the green coolant, flush it all out and replace with something better. I use Peak Final Charge in everything.
I've used the PEAK Asian pink coolant in my Camry in a pinch, but OEM is worth it. (For my 2013 prius and 2014 camry, they use the pink colored fluid)
I paid for a coolant flush and the mechanic put back in peak 50/50. The orange kind not the gold. At least its not mixing with the HOAT but im pissed
