Engine Coolant Mixing

Mixability of G12evo with other Coolant Generations

  Standard-Initial Filling    
Mixable with... Blue/Green G11 from Red G12 from Violet G12+ from Violet G12++ from Violet G13 from Violet (?) G12evofrom   In principle, G12evo is mixable with all previous VW/Audi-approved coolants for the respective generations. The corrosion protection weakens in proportion to the mixture amount, or the "robustness" of the G12evo coolant is diminished.
