vs
Antifreeze PEAK or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I used the Peak coolant that was pink, it's been a few weeks and no catastrophe so I think you are fine.
Pros: no catastrophe, works fine
Vehicle:
Land Rover Defender
I use the purple peak G13 in mine - from autozone. Its actually more pinkish when it pours. Made sure to flush with distilled water before adding the new coolant just in case but its been fine in my car. Don’t overthink it!
Pros: been fine in my car
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
50/50 Peak blue. Everyone says BMW brand but not everyone has a bmw dealership near them nor what’s to pay out the ass for coolant. I’ve had BMW’s for 23 years and they run perfectly in many ways. All I ever used was Peak 50/50 Blue
Pros: runs perfectly
Cons: expensive at dealership
Been using Peak Final Charge Global in everything. 2004 f150, 2018 ktm 300, 2015 ktm 1290, Yamaha FJR....top offs / mix complete changes with flush. No issues with any.
Pros: no issues with any
Vehicle:
Ford
I used the pre-diluted Peak European Vehicle formula. It is Hybrid Organic Acid Tech HOAT which is the same as the Genuine BMW brand.
Pros: same as Genuine BMW
Blue antifreeze that says European only. Your local autoparts store usually has PEAK Euro full strength or Pentofrost NF (G11) antifreeze. Either one of those is good, just dilute it 50/50 with water.
Pros: good, dilute with water
Vehicle:
BMW
I prefer peak brand 50/50 premixed. The pink or red Asian import coolant is the only thing I would ever put in my toyota or Scion. It's the same stuff that comes in them from the factory with hybrid organic acid technology (HOAT). Coolant not only keeps your car from freezing in the winter, it has corrosion inhibitors to keep your engine healthy.
Pros: factory match, corrosion inhibitors, prevents freezing
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Peak Asian green coolant works fine. I used it last week and my Mazda 6 is working fine
Pros: works fine
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
you can use peak, most likely it will be fine, it may just cause your radiator and heater core to clog. i used to run it with absolutely no problems. i now just prefer g11/g12
Pros: used to run it
Cons: may cause clogging
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
