Pros: ran normal, several thousand miles

coolant is always best. I would get rid of the green coolant, flush it all out and replace with something better. I use Peak Final Charge in everything.
Pros: always best, better performance

I have some Peak "original equipment technology" for European vehicles, "violet." It is pre-diluted. It seemed to immediately blend right in, if that means anything.
Pros: blended right in

Find the peak brand equivalent. That's what I use for 2021 RH Model. Make sure specifications match. Properly flush your coolant system before implementing and properly bleed and burp the air out before taking it for a ride. Do not leave air in coolant passages. I've had no issues with different brand coolant and oil.
Pros: no issues with coolant
I paid for a coolant flush and the mechanic put back in peak 50/50. The orange kind not the gold. At least its not mixing with the HOAT but im pissed
Cons: Wrong type of coolant
