G 13 coolant

Post by djhammy »

Hi guys have tried to search this but it comes up blank.

As i have just taken delivery of a reconditioned water cooled DG engine. do i stick with G12 + coolant or is G13 ok if starting afresh?

More than likely to stick as i have 2 bottles of G12 already from the leaking pipe i've just changed but just wondered.

Thanks

I'm not sure that there have been any major advancements other than G13 is more enviromentally friendly than G12+

If you haven't already bought it save yourself some money and buy the eurocarparts red
They are on the milbrook road
Its G12 equivalent

Need 8 L for 50% mix so could get the 1L bottles
