is this the right coolant?

so I noticed that my coolant reservoir was low, so I went out to Autozone and got some coolant.
From what I have read, I need OEM, or" Prestone" 50/50 mix "GREEN".
@ Autozone there were 3 choices dexol, 100% mix, and this...



I open it it up and the coolant is clear... Im assuming this is NOT the correct coolant to use... Can some1 confirm for me that this is or is not the correct coolant to use, and if not, which should I use?

TIA

That should be fine that particular coolant is supposed to be compatible with regular "green' antifreeze and the extended life types. It is actually yellow but, you can't tell until you pour it out.

"dexol" or Dex-Cool? If the latter of the two...I would steer clear!

You got the right stuff; its different from our OEM type, but its fully compatible and will pose no issues (as it says right on the jug).
