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 have some Peak "original equipment technology" for European vehicles, "violet." It is pre-diluted. It seemed to immediately blend right in, if that means anything.
Pros: blended right in
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mods: None, staying showroom stock. TCL Buyers Guide Negatives / future ownership issues: A) Valley Plate coolant leak: Look for pink crystals (dried coolant) underside of engine near where transmission meets up w engine. Also check upper radiator hose where it connects to radiator. Workaround: 50k/5 year coolant maintenance.
Cons: Valley Plate coolant leak
Vehicle:
Lexus
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
