I can’t seem to locate G11 coolant.
Any leads - online or otherwise?
Thanks

I use penrite. Their G11 is the green OEM 8 year. G12+ is blue OEM 8 year. I would run multiple fills of straight water to flush the system for about a week before filling with 50% coolant. Greg

Here is some info I found re G11, G12 etc - hope it helps
Thanks for that Greg and Hans for responding to my post re G11.
I have purchased some G13 from HSY here in Adelaide and will use that.
I will flush the system with Demineralized water and then fill with a mix of the G13 anti freeze and Demin. water. Not sure if I need 1:1 or could use a weaker mix given that the temperature doesn’t get below 0 C. and I have been told that the antifreeze can be corrosive.
Thanks again

G11 and G13 is an anti corrosive. You do not need it as an anti freeze but just to stop corrosion.
The reason that I used G11 is that it was designed for the T3 engine. G13 came out many years later. Would they have done comprehensive testing on a vehicle that they no longer produced? Just my opinion.
