Title: Which coolant color for europe i30 1.4 petrol 2011?

Actually, all the oil websites recommend the pink g12 coolant and nowhere the blue one. The dealer says blue.

But is that also the one which I need? Or yellow?

Have you looked in the over flow bottle to see what colour you already have? use the same at the correct mixture percentage :)

The main thing to remember is to not mix different brands/colours, any colour should be suitable if done at the right mixture percentage for your locality.

I've got the yellowish 10 year fluid in mine but I can use other colours if I were to do a complete drain.

Drained the system and completely filled the system with blue coolant with -26, a bs6580 coolant. Not sure if the corrossion and other additives are good for this hyundai system? As all the oil companies recommend pink.
