This seems like a really dumb question to ask, but I'm paranoid!

So, my coolant light came on and I looked at the level it was at. About a cm below the MIN line... Therefore I hurry on up to Autozone and put Prestone 50/50 and fill the coolant to the line above MIN.

Before I filled up though, I read in the instruction manual that the coolant needs G, G+ or G++ coolant... Man @ Autozone said Prestone bottle said ANY car ANY truck ANY make so it should be fine...

So the question is... IS IT REALLY FINE?!

You paid a lot of money for the car. You can't afford a ltr. from Audi?

Check the Prestone label for the rating.

Why would the color be important?

No biggie. Diesel fuel beats 91 oct. Try it.

You should have gone to your dealer, they should top that up FREE for the first year...

I've always used the Audi or Porsche coolant in my cars. They say that commercial brands are not compatible with what's in your reservoir. I would call the dealer and see if you need to have your cooling system flushed and refilled.

But I'd bet it's ok

But the thing is I have already driven the car for a whole day. And it wasn't a question of whether I could afford the coolant, but a worry that the pink coolant was below the MIN line.

I guess my paranoia wasn't just my own. Will the coolant flush be free by chance?
