Well, now @Nessal, thanks for looking into that and reporting your findings. .....

However, although these coolants are color coded and all ..... they could very well contain different compounds which are incompatible with each other.

Since several ingredients in these mixes are "proprietary", it’s difficult to determine what they are in order to sort them out.

Therefore, since the coolant lasts a long time and doesn’t require much to replenish it, I think I’ll just stick with the pricey stuff from the dealer.
