Pentofrost ++ / G05 Substitute?

[92saturnsl2]

I picked up three of the 1.5L bottles of Pentofrost ++ at my local O'Reillys as the price was comparable to G05.

I'll be using it in my '09 Caliber SRT4 whose OEM coolant would have been G05.

The bottle says "low silicate" extended life antifreeze with no borates, phosphate, nitrates, etc. Isn't this the same chemistry as G05? I do like the fact that the color is the same as the OEM Chrysler fluid, orangish-pink.

Here is a link to the product:

Now that Chrysler does not use G05 anymore,and there are more and more aftermarket competitors,maybe Chrysler/Mopar will finally lower its pricing.Which has been ridiculous at times.

G05 contains borates, so I don't think this would be a direct substitute. Can you photo the bottle where it mentions low silicate no phosphate and nitrate and post here?

It's G12 a VW/Audi fluid similar to Dex Cool, not compatible, they stopped using it around 2003. Here's what you need http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/AFZ4/GO5.oap?ck=Search_go5_-1_-1&keyword=go5
