If someone has a bottle of G12 coolant nearby, could you snap a pic of the front and back?

I'm trying to find out directly from RedLine and Royal Purple if their coolant additives are compatible with Audi/VW G12 coolant. They are asking me what the coolant is, and I'm not sure. Thanks.

NAPA claimed today that Zerex Extreme Long life was compatible with G12. Can anyone verify this?

Default I'm quite interested in what they say, as I have 70k miles on two cars using RedLine WW and G12...

50k on a Passat with the Audi 2.8L 30V V6, and 20k on an actual Audi. Don't have any personal experience with the Royal Purple version. The RedLine product uses an almost identical dye as the G12 itself, so the color of your coolant doesn't change to extent anyone can tell it's in there...stealth mod!!!

Please post your findings. TIA
