    hi, I wonder if this shellzone coolant is good for 360/F430. It doesn't say anything about G05 or G48, so I am reluctant. Somebody left a carton of these coolant for me as a thank you for an electrical gig I did for him

    Considering it is the old type green coolant ..and not an extended life ..I would say probably not a good fit for newer ferraris

    This was the original fill for the 1980s ferraris

    The fact sheet says it is compatible with heavy duty diesel supplemental cooling additives, which would seem to indicate they are not present, but would need to be, for use in engines with wet liners like our Ferraris and diesel engines.

    Note is also states shelf life is only about 18 months, so if you are not going to use it in one of your other cars, give it away quickly or see if a dealer will swap it.

    Note G05 has been updated with nitrited hybrid organic acid technology (HOAT) additives, so should be good for a couple of years in our Ferraris.
