How about Evans NPG? Been thinking of converting my P-car 928 to this with a zero pressure system. Spoke to one of their engineers concerning use in both my Z3 and the 928 & he was quite happy to discuss at length. Haven't made the switch on either car yet, but likely will do at least one in the future.
Here's their site (no affiliation, but was pointed in their direction by a Pantera owner).

I must be missing something here but there are only a few different types of AF. Most of the popular brands are from the same tank so there is little if not no difference. Then you have the Phosphate free type oand the new GM stuff. If you are worried about the aluminum factor and you don't change your AF annually then a phos free would be recommended. If you change it yearly than anything will do. The MB stuff is mixed without the die in it but its the same. |

I like the clear stuff sold by Mercedes dealerships as OEM. It is actually made by Valvoline spec'ed for MB. 'good for 4 years, clear, neutral pH. I used it in all brands of cars for the last 12 years.

There are numerous threads on this worth reading but read them completely for the full story. |

I have researched prior threads and have not come across a brand of AF for my 328. What is in there now was put in at the last coolant change by the prior owner over a year or so ago by Ferrari of Scottsdale. It is green. Any advice on what brand to use now. I plan to do the change myself.
Thanks. |
