Note that Sierra is propylene, not ethylene glycol based. Do not mix. Also, temperature transfer characteristics are not as good.

Whatever coolant you use, stick to one brand/type, use distilled water if you live in a hard water area and change it as recommended by that manufacturer. For the Waterboxer, I have not seen much difference in results even with the green stuff.

>List, other than the blue VW stuff, what coolant would you recommend my 1991 Syncro Westy?<

When I called GoWesty with this question a few years ago they recommended Sierra (green, phosphate free and readily available).
