Peak Global Lifetime/distilled water ok for Mini Cooper S?

This guy is using it in his video.

Others are saying you must use blue. I ask because I buy it in bulk since it works great for my other vehicles and is a pain in the but to get.

Which is it?

In my case this would be a complete drain and fill of the radiator and block if permissable.

Thanks

I just use the MINI Blue coolant and mix it 50/50 with distilled water on all 3 of my MINIs. Almost 300K on the R52 and still going strong, you can get an aftermarket alternative from us in the NF pentosin which is also blue and meets the specs for a lower cost. Talked about many time here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...i-coolant.html

Here is info on people talking about the Peak stuff: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...f-coolant.html

Its up to you what you prefer.
