Just so we are on the same page here kirby, don't most people refer to the
VAG stuff (G11, right) as blue and not green? Yes I know that it looks like
a blue/green color, not to be confused with the highlighter yellow/green of
Prestone. ;)
Btw, I have heard of some european guys liking BASF's Glysantin. Which you
can get here at your FLAPs as Zerex G-05 which I believe is yellow. Link to
the stuff:

Never used the stuff or heard results of anyone using it.
