My preferred coolant is strictly ZEREX G5

Automaker approved for Ford Chrysler Mercedes Heavy Duty DIESEL.
I have the 50 50 premix but I also keep a gallon of pure G5 for adjusting into colder season without having to take too much coolant out.

It is a gold bottle... finally available in nearly any auto store. That wasnt the case a few years ago.

I recently bought a d24t that was serviced by Volvo and the coolant was interestingly a blue color. Probably at Volvo they still make their own antifreeze? Not sure.

The G5 isnt expensive. For a full cooling system fillup though a d24 needs about 5gallons I think.
