You're not supposed to add tap water... distilled water is fine for emergencies, but always top up with coolant whenever possible

Pros: distilled water for emergencies
Cons: not tap water
Vehicle: Mazda

Flush your cooling system and replace the green coolant with Valvoline Zerex G48, it's what's inside BMW's coolant jugs at the dealer.

I used Valvoline Zerex Asian Blue Vehicle Antifreeze/Coolant in my 1st gen anytime I needed to drain the radiator because you can buy it anywhere. 50/50 is handy for top offs but if I was doing a full flush I got concentrated and mixed with distilled water which comes out a good bit cheaper.

Pros: easy to find, handy for top-offs, cost-effective
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ

Since that 5/2023 bulletin refers to Valvoline as formulating the latest version of G12Evo, and Valvoline/Zerex HT-12 says on the bottle that it is for G12Evo applications as well as referencing VW TL 774-L, it should be okay to use HT-12 in our coolant systems.

Pros: okay to use HT-12
Part number: HT-12
