Antifreeze VALVOLINE or OEM Volkswagen

tema marcas yo usaria valvoline

i have a 21 jetta, been using the valvoline one, no issues

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

I use Valvoline Zerex Asian Blue in mine. Good stuff, and compatible with OEM Mitsubishi coolant, for like half the price.

I personally prefer OEM, but I was at a Lexus dealership for 9 years that used Valvoline and never seen it cause an issue

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.

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.

My 2029 Alltrack has developed the same problem at 50K miles. Drops about 1” for every two hours driven. You can see and smell the antifreeze.

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.
