Antifreeze Prestone or OEM Volkswagen

I’ve had no issues with Prestone Platinum in my MK6 CJAA TDI. It’s been in for 4 year 65k mi.

2023 VR6, noticed coolant low, I added the proper coolant and the dealer pressure tested during our service appointment.

my buddy put the Preston stuff in his v6 cause you can mix with all colors and hes been fine for 6 months now not an issue.

I topped mine off with prestone platinum. Meets Ford spec and has been fine

last time I needed to top off my coolant, I used Prestone and been fine for last 15k miles

I only ever use Prestone universal coolant, from my newer car to my 1962 bulldozer.

I just use prestone, it's green coolant. It's universal for all fuel types and coolant systems. I have never had any issues in the many years I have been using it.

My mechanic just switched my antifreeze to “Prestone yellow”. He said it’s for cars with high mileage (150k and higher) he said it’s softer on our old hoses and such! Car is running great.

VW coolant doesn\u2019t play nice and will chemically react with parts store general coolant.

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.
