I've used BASF Glysantin G48 with distilled water from 2012 to 2015. Had no issues, but I switched to ac dp ultra because of fancier colors.
Pros: no issues
Mine went 11 years with not as much as a check and it came out perfectly the same as the new stuff going in.
Pros: long lasting, reliable
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Yes, that will work. I did Pentofrost G13 equivalent for my top-up coolant.
Pros: G13 equivalent
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Ravenol on amazon has FL22 coolant, it’s what I used on my 2012 and my car is running perfect 6 months later.
Pros: car running perfect
Vehicle:
Mazda
I personally use Peak brand coolant, and I've never had an issue for 100K+ miles.
Pros: no issues for 100K+ miles
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 160934 km
The green does "work" but it wont help the health of the engine long term as there are chemicals in the Toyota red which help protect the engine, fittings, rad etc. Buy the right stuff from Toyota and it'll last ages, the wrong stuff will screw things up long term.
Pros: protects engine, lasts long
Cons: green coolant harms engine
Either way, a good flush and you can pick any color you want. I would pick blue Rowe G11 coolant. Blue is a pretty color.
Pros: pick any color
Even though most will say to stick with G12/G13, I think that is where that "sand" comes from. I decided last year to completely drain the system - including engine block - and converted to Peak antifreeze. I have not had any problems since.
Pros: no problems since
Cons: sand in heater core
I used 3 of those Pentosin blue with a bottle of Water Wetter and the rest is water.. my temp is 30 degree higher than it was before and I don't know what the heck it was in there before which is this yellow/green milky stuff, it sure kept the engine mostly below 180. But now I hit 220-230 easily
Pros: kept engine mostly below 180
Cons: temp 30 degree higher
