Pros: no issues seen

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
