2011 Yamaha Grizzly 700 Need Coolant Advice

[bradleyheathhays]

2011 Grizz 700 here and so far the only thing I've been told about replacing my coolant is that I should put the same color stuff back in that came out. But other than that nothing specific. A search through both the service or owner's manual gave no coolant info other than capacity. Here's a comparison of the old and the proposed new...

The stuff on the left, what's coming out, is a blue-green. I'm second owner and only put about 75 miles on the machine, so I have no idea how old this coolant is.

Stuff on the right is the new coolant the guy at the car shop suggested, and is more of a pure lighter translucent blue. It's Pentofrost NF, whatever that is. He said it's what's recommended for European, including BMWs. Here's the bottle...

So...

1) have I found the right coolant?

and

2) does this stuff need to be diluted? The bottle says it's 'full strength.'

You could use that I believe, however that antifreeze still looks pretty good. Make sure the coolant is compatible with aluminum motors, which pentofrost is. You can also send them an email and see if they recommend it for powersports engines.

I've never used pentofrost in an ATV, but I imagine that it should be ok.
