Usa el G12 de Volkswagen y no lo cambies por nada. ... No te vas a arrepentir
Pros: no te vas a arrepentir
2023 VR6, noticed coolant low, I added the proper coolant and the dealer pressure tested during our service appointment.
Pros: dealer pressure tested
Cons: coolant low
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 23000 km
I always use g13 from the dealer mainly because they can void any warranty for repairs on your cooling system if they see there is not g13 in there (g13 is pink, other types are purple) and with a model that is known to have coolant system issues, i aint giving them the excuse to not fix something they should.
Pros: maintains warranty, prevents issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Only use modern Volkswagen G12evo coolant! This is required not optional, if you mix the wrong coolants you can create an acidic meta eating coolant mixture that will ruin your engine
Pros: prevents engine damage
Cons: mixing ruins engine
You want the very best you gotta go Honda blue.
Pros: very best
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Nothin better than that OEM Honda
Pros: best performance
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
I have looked at the additive packages on all Honda compatible coolants. Many other manufacturers (Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, Mazda, Subaru) have switched to similar coolants that are slightly worse than Honda coolant. Honda has the strictest requirements for their engines that they refused to give their engines to GM for Saturn cars after GM said they will require GM coolant. Here are my rankings:
1) Honda Type 2 (OEM) Coolant Best OEM coolant Has about the same Diethylene Glycol and anti corrosion and detergent additives
Pros: Best OEM coolant
Cons: slightly worse
Vehicle:
Honda
I’ve never ever seen OEM Honda coolant even remotely dirty, sludged or have insufficient protection even after 100k miles.
Pros: long-lasting, clean, protective
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 160934 km
I'm flushing our 14 Tiguan this weekend cause the coolant is nasty as hell.
Cons: coolant is nasty
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I also had the coolant replaced. I asked for the OEM stuff, which I guess is pink (?). They said mine was pretty much black !
Cons: coolant was black
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
