Opinions on changing G12 coolant to Havoline Extended Life?
I think my coolant was contaminated with conventional since my resivoir is now brown. As such I was planning to change my coolant this weekend. Instead of buying Audi Brand G12 I noticed that the Havoline meets the Audi g12 specifications. Anyone have any problems?

Havoline "Dexcool" should work fine; phosphate-, silicate-, nitrite-free inhibitor technology is similar to Audi's fluid.

Maybe....but .
I have seen and experience too many instances where fluid changes occured, and woops just little bit later, the heater core leaks, or dang now the radiator. ETC. I mean why bother? Its not like OEM is terribly expensive
