Antifreeze Pentosin or VALVOLINE

Zerex G40 is pretty good. Made by Valvoline and has G12++ spec.

I've always used the Pentosin equivalent in all my Volkswagens and Audis. Pentosin E/SF. Pentosin SF is G12 (pink) -2005, Pentosin E is G13 (violet) 2006 onwards. Safe to mix with factory fill, of course can always go to the dealer for coolant too. These are concentrate, so you do have to mix 50/50 with distilled water though

If it's inconvenient to go to the dealer, you can buy the correct coolant at NAPA, they carry Pentosin brand chemicals.

I had a bunch of Audi G11 kicking around from my Audi 100 that I used to have. Made by Pentosin, same smurf piss BMW used.

Put it in my e90 when I did the water pump.

I went with Valvoline Xerex G40. BASF G40 is the equivalent of G12++. Valvoline/ZEREX G40 Euro Pink coolant meets this newest worldwide standard BASF G40 and German standard VW G12++ .

Pentosin has good equivalents.

Brands I recommend are of course Toyota OEM Super Long Life coolant and surprisingly Walmart Asian Red Super Long Life coolant (actually comes out pink ) has never failed me and I offer that as an option to my customers. Then there is the Valvoline zerex Asian I don\u2019t highly recommend this coolant but it does work just not that well from my experience.

I have two gallons of this I've used in my 2009 B6 Passat that is leaking coolant. I don't drive it much, just once in a while. I just don't have the funds to fix the leak, which is likely the water pump. This coolant works just fine for me!

Drain/refill every two years for me, Pentosin coolant only!

I personally use Pentosin SF for GM cars,it's not the cheapest,but it is one of the best. Made in Germany. Similar to Dex-cool but pink,no problems.
