"Meets X per manufacturer" is our shorthand for any of the manufacturer's own phrases: meets, meets or exceeds, approved, or recommended for applications requiring. It is the manufacturer's claim, not an approval by Coolant.com or by the vehicle maker. Codes are copied as published. Some sources list codes for compatibility rather than formal approval. The wording above shows which.
What the manufacturer says it is for
suitable for passenger cars, light trucks and heavy-duty vehicles.
Quoted from the manufacturer's page. Coolant.com has not verified fitment for any vehicle, and a listed make or year range is the manufacturer's statement, not ours.

Compatibility notes
- If your owner's manual calls for MS-9769, Zerex lists that code for this product. Read the exact wording above, and confirm against your manual.
- Chemistry is listed as HOAT. Mixing different chemistries can shorten coolant life. See OAT vs HOAT vs IAT and use the mixing checker before topping up.
- Sold as a concentrate: dilute with distilled or deionised water as the label directs. See premix vs concentrate and the freeze and boil calculator.
Note: Valvoline PI sheet (2021) hosted by a distributor (ProSource Diesel). Chemistry: Valvoline describes G05 as "lower-silicate, reduced pH, phosphate free" and nitrite-containing; HOAT is the term Valvoline uses for G-05 on valvolineglobal.com. Service life on Valvoline's Latin America page: 5 years / 240,000 km light duty.
