PEAK OET Extended Life Blue 50/50 Prediluted Antifreeze/Coolant for European Vehicles
It takes slightly less than one gallon.

BTW, a forum search using "antifreeze" will show you all the various options.

By top up do you mean a couple of ounces?

 

Just use some distilled water to top off.

 

BMW uses Pentosin Pentofrost in both motorcycles and cars.

I ordered a liter of BMW antifreeze off Ebay for $12. Delivered to door.

 

I was in one of the local auto parts places recently and noticed Prestone has an anti freeze they claim mixes with any other anti freeze and can be used in any vehicle. I'm sceptical. What do yoos guys think?

 

Why would you "think" about using a product that you're skeptical is correct when there is a readily available product that you "know" is correct; e.g. Peak Extended Life Blue?

Just wanted to see how some others may feel about it. It's just like all purpose transmission fluid. I'd only use it to lubricate my chain saw blade.

 

Sort of strange some motorcycle manufacturers (like Honda) require a silicate-free antifreeze, while the blue Peak OET for European vehicles is advertised as having enhanced silicate technology.

 

I keep a gallon of manufacturer parts counter coolant, for each of my water cooled vehicles, on the garage shelf. Too easy.
