[V8] pentosin antifreeze new bottle

[Ed Kellock]

Actually, the cap is white and they had two other "flavors", one was ++ and
the other was S-something, I believe it was for sulfate free?

Is the cap purple instead of red? The purple cap is the new G12 plus plus

backwards compatible yet, but I think it is.
