Dexcool substitute. Dexcool formula?

[V70tdi]

Im getting a headache of finding Dexcool here in Sweden and its time to change coolant soon. Tryed to search for the Dexcool formula but getting different ansvers of what type it is. I belive its a silicate free OAT but also find that its a HOAT ?
I got a recomendation on Q8 longlife coolant that i find out is a SI-OAT type G12++ that is easy to get here at resonable price
Another one saying that the G12+ is the same formula like Dexcool and fully mixable.
I want to fing a coolant that is mixable with Dexcool so i dont need to flush with pure water if not absolutly necessary and then get a lower coolant ratio during to water beein left in the cooling system.

If you have a GM/Chevrolet dealerships in your area, they should sell Dexcool

If you have a Catapillar dealer they also use Dexcool in their equipment, just may be a little more expensive due to Cats name on the jug. Ram and Jeep now also use the same antifreeze as Dexcool, but you will pay more for their antifreeze.

No GM dealership in Sweden since a long time now. SAAB/GM dealership was the last one that i can remember but all of them are gone.
Some import companys have Dexcool to really high price and then it will be by shipping so i would like to find a substitute that are easy to find if possible.

Cat is a way but still a good substitute that are easy to get would be better.

Doesn't CAT use ELC?

I've switched all my stuff to ELC. Much easier to stock 1 antifreeze.

Here's a seller from Ubuy Sweden. 362 SEK = US$ 35.00. Kinda Pricey

Also I believe the orange Jaguar/Land Rover coolants are DexCool as well

You cant order from Amazon or Walmart ?

BASF says G34 can be used (scroll down to Opel and see where it says GM 6277M which is Dexcool)

That's what's in my Chevy Suburban right now. By the way the World Junior Hockey Championship was in Stockholm this year. Interesting city!

Tnx Just what i was looking for. G34 i totally missed in my search and didnt think about Opel at all so now i have plenty of options

G34 is to the same gm spec as havoline/texaco xlc aka dexcool. g30 can be used in its place, notice they recommend g30 for ford vehicles.

basf did not supply g34 to ford, they imported xlc for their vehicles
