How can you tell if a coolant is a G-05? Does it say so anywhere on the jug?

There is a lot of ethelyne glycol coolant varieties that are not GO-5. Neraly all coolant is ethelyne glycol.
Valvoline's Zerox GO-5 is prominately identified on the front label. Other's may show that they are the same as what is used by the newest Rord and Chrysler products.

Yes Zerox G05 is on the front of the container.
G-05 is the brand name used by zerex, as they said above.
The type of formula it is is HOAT.. hybrid organic acid technology.
In my case, I haven't seen G-05 since Prestone "all makes" came out and took all the shelf space. I am told that NAPA has it.
The same coolant as G-05 is found at Ford, Chrysler or Mercedes dealers too.. their yellow or gold coolants.

Pep Boys carries Zerex G-05 concentrate for $10.99/gallon.
OK, Thanks. I'll look for the Zerex G-05 at PepBoys as I hope to change out the coolants on my two cars. They both have the Ford Green stuff and I want to change to the G-05.

The Zerex G-05 plastic jug is "gold" - easy to spot.

The label that says "G-05" on the jug does not jump out at you. You have to read the front of the gold jug to find it.
Isn't Peak CF-EXL a G-05 "type" product? Ray?
I find Peak's website a little confusing. The company lists CF-EXL as meeting the requirements for Ford and Daimler Chrysler and list the two automaker's internal material acceptance specifications, MS9769 (D-C), and WSS-M97B51-A1 (Ford) respectively. That would seem to leave little doubt that CF-EXL is a G-05 formula. But those same automaker specs are listed for Peak Global Lifetime Antifreeze/Coolant, too, as well as GM's DEX-COOL specification, 6277M.
Peak's website lists its Global Lifetime Antifreeze/Coolant as a 2-EH OAT and devoid of both silicates and phosphates - which defines it as a "dexclone". I wasn't able to find any such inclusions or exclusions of silicates under the CF-EXL's description or its MSDS, so I'm not sure just what Peak's stance is in the matter of adhering to specific automaker recommendations with that formulation. If you know you want G-05 (reduced silicates/OAT hybrid technology), but are unwilling to pay stealership pricing for it under Mopar, Ford Premium Gold, Mercedes-Benz, or BMW labeling, get the Zerex G-05 and at least know you've bought the real McCoy. If you plan to leave it in for two years or longer, the coupla bucks you might save with CF-EXL is probably immaterial, anyway.
