I've mixed Peak Violet in with the OEM G12+. My car ran normal for several thousand miles like that.
Pros: ran normal, several thousand miles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Use the OEM honda stuff. It's really nice.
Pros: really nice
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'm running Honda type 2 coolant in my 94 sonoma. Flushing helped but it seems getting a good P-HOAT coolant stopped or at least paused the rusting while offering better protection.
Pros: stopped rusting, better protection
I've used the PEAK Asian pink coolant in my Camry in a pinch, but OEM is worth it. (For my 2013 prius and 2014 camry, they use the pink colored fluid)
Pros: works in a pinch
Cons: OEM is better
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
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
