Check the coolant in the car now. Betcha it is pink/purplish. Whatever you do, don't use anything green.

Just do what OH says, and use the real G12 stuff. Yeah, it is overpriced, but it will work, and it will last long enough that you will save by not having to flush it next year. Or the next several years.

Cheers,

Genuine WV G12+ or G13 from World Impex or idparts is actually cheaper than Pentofrost. I get it locally from Impex for $22/gal. Also remember to use distilled water when you make your mix.

So my local AZ had 3 flavors of Pentosin: SF as shown, E, and none. I guess the E type is what is needed here: it has the pretty lavender colored cap (my wife will probably like it just because of that) and is the most expensive of the 3. Figures. Sigh...
