If you are under warranty, stick with G12
if you arent, in a pinch you can use Dexcool to top off the coolant tank. Search for Audi Junkie's threads on the similarities between dexcool and G12. If you are flushing, switch to the new g12+ or a G05 type coolant.

Re: dexcool not cool at all DONT run it
g-12 is the same as dex cool, GM's problems where related to some of the materials used in the manufacturing of some of its engines, not the coolant itself.

Bzzt. lol @ G-12 is "better". It causes the same problems as Dex, both suck and are the same formula
