Antifreeze recommendation?

[TvrIanD]

As the subject suggests, any recommendation of brand/type for 1997 Griffith 500? Halfords guide state "refer to manual" for a Griffith - the manual states "50% Glycol antifreeze and water".

I used VAG G12+PLUS after some research on these forums and a recommendation from Spend who rebuilds engines.

I contacted Comma to see if I could use the same A/F in my Griff and X-Trail...the answer was no.

The recommended A/F for the Griff is Comma Xstream G48 silicate based inhibitor.

The G30 OAT (organic) based A/F seems to be for more modern engines.

Thanks for the recommendations. The Comma Product finder (http://www.commaoil.com/products/) also confirms Xstream G48 for a '97 Griff.
