I believe Pentosin Pentofrost A3 is equivalent and it's also $19 from Advance Auto. I have both at home because the Pentosin is equivalent to Subaru coolant as well.
Vehicle:
Mazda
I'm almost positive that VW uses Pentosin at the factory- I think the G12/G13 is the same stuff as the Pentofrost SF/Pentofrost E.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I use it in my Audi, VW and KTM Adventure without any problems.
Pros: no problems, multipurpose applications
Vehicle:
Audi
Use the specified coolant I would use the specified coolant for the vehicle in which you drive and always use distilled/deionized water foreign or domestic! The cuts down on deposits and electrolysis from corrosion from using tap/ground water and or the incorrect coolant.
Pros: cuts down on deposits
Cons: incorrect coolant
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Do not, under any circumstances, mix generic auto store coolant with G12/13. If you are low, top it up with water - distilled preferably.
Pros: use distilled water
Cons: do not mix coolants
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I bought a 5 Liter Bottle of Pentosin SAE 5W-40 Pento High Performance II Motor Oil from O’Reilly Auto Parts for $50.75. This API SN/CF and ACEA C3 Rated Oil complies with VW-Specification 502 00/505 00/505 01 and is Made in Germany.
Pros: meets VW specifications
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
O'reilly around me carries the correct G12. Brand is Pentosin.
Pros: carries correct G12
Pentosin is a good, correct brand. CHF 11S is mineral based CHF 202 is synthetic. They are compatible with each other. You can use either one.
Pros: good brand, compatible fluids
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 178000 km
And do make sure you are using the proper Pentosin CHF-11S fluid or VW/Audi fluid. These cars are very sensitive to PS fluids. Using the wrong fluid, even to top up can ruin the seals in the rack.
Pros: proper fluid is important
Cons: wrong fluid ruins seals
