Scotty endorsing Pentofrost?

Pentofrost is a good choice

The Evil Volkswagen Empire has different classifications for coolant

G11 Glysantin G48 (HOAT, Silicates) (VW G11, Volvo, BMW, Mercedes)
G12
G12+
G12++
G13

This link explains it well

The G11 isn't compatible with G12
The G11 is compatible with G12+, G12++, G13

When I changed the Radiator on my 2010 S80 I switched to a G13 coolant

For best results when switching the old coolant should be flushed out.

The G13 and the G12++ seem to be very similar with the G13 being more environmently friendly.

Quote " The glycol based G12++ was replaced by the glycerol based G13 coolant. The advantage of the G13 lays in a better economic safety and lower production costs. " https://www.ato24.de/en/blog/which-coolant-antifreeze/

Thanks
