Default If you're referring to the Pentosin Blue G11, some of them have it. Call around.

Otherwise, any of the on-line parts places like SJM, Blau, FAP99, etc have it.

HTH,
Jim

Default I have some you can have

I have two 1.5L containers of Pentosin, and around 1/2 a gallon of the dealer brand, all the blue stuff. I don't have a use for them anymore - pay for shipping and they're yours. Send me an email.

I bought eight or ten gallons last time I got some (five Audis in our yard), and I think the price was about twice what Prestone or similar brands sell for at places like AutoZone.

Default TEXACO's low silicate, no Organic Acid = similar.Zerex/MB G-05 Hybrid OAT's an upgrade. No DEXcool!

Do not use DEXcool or DEX-compatible in an older system. You can use "Conventional" in a newer system, it just does not last as long w/o organic acids. The Hybrid Organic Acid Technology G-05 has both silicates and organic acids also with the longest successfull track record of ANY oem coolant formula. G-11 is like olde Prestone. TEXACO is similar, but lowered silicates, better. G-12 is the same as DEXcool/OAT and should not be mixed with Conventional. G-12 Plus is the new replacment since G-12/Dex/OAT sucks so bad. It's supposed to be conmpatible with G-11 or G-12, don't be fooled if the dealer pushes it. TEXACO would be safe, PEAK Global would be better but less "safe" (maybe), G-05 would be best overall.
