The rule in one sentence
Look at the colour in your expansion tank, or at what the manual specifies. Blue or green means Zerex Asian Blue, pink or red means Zerex Asian Red.
In practice that looks like this: Subaru, Honda, Acura, Nissan, Infiniti, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Hyundai and Kia take the blue, while Toyota, Lexus and Scion take the red.
Both products cost the same and both are concentrates.
If your make is not on the list
Three questions, all answered in your manual: which colour is specified, does it say “silicate-free”, and is JIS K 2234 or ASTM D3306 referenced.
If all three match, the product is in the right family. If the manual calls for the European G12 or G13 specification, these products are not for you, and we will say so plainly.
Frequently asked questions
Are both products in stock?
Valvoline Zerex Asian Blue is in stock and Valvoline Zerex Asian Red is in stock. Please still call before ordering, since quantities are limited.
My car is a hybrid. Is anything different?
A hybrid has two cooling circuits, one for the engine and one for the inverter. The same type is normally specified for both, and the inverter circuit should be serviced by a specialist.
