I'm running Honda type 2 coolant in my 94 sonoma. Flushing helped but it seems getting a good P-HOAT coolant stopped or at least paused the rusting while offering better protection.

Pros: stopped rusting, better protection

I've used pentosin E for full flushes of two Golfs (2015 and 2017). No issues. Prior to that, I used it for topping off. It's the right stuf being G13 regardless of slight color variation pink/purple.

Pros: no issues, right stuff

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I used 3 of those Pentosin blue with a bottle of Water Wetter and the rest is water.. my temp is 30 degree higher than it was before and I don't know what the heck it was in there before which is this yellow/green milky stuff, it sure kept the engine mostly below 180. But now I hit 220-230 easily

Pros: kept engine mostly below 180

Cons: temp 30 degree higher
