Coolant Notes:
- The Alfa Giulia/Stelvio 2.0 and 2.9 engines use the same coolant. It is an O.A.T. (Organic Acid Technology) type of coolant
- Originally spec’d as a Chrysler MS.90032 (changed to MS12106; a 10 year - 150K mile life)
- Original coolant fill is Petronas Paraflu / Parafull. (Seen it both ways. One might be a concentrate, the other a 50-50 mix)
- It is borate, phosphate, silicate, nitrate, and amine, free
- On the bottle:
- ASTM D3306 Type3, CUNANC956-16, Chrysler MS12106, Fiat 9.55523, Lotus PE-00140, Maserati-Approved

These lists for fluids are a valuable resource. I will stay out of the engine oil debate, for now. In my 45+ years as a professional auto parts and repair guy, I actually find (now, more so than ever) that choosing the correct antifreeze coolant, and changing it at the correct intervals, is more important that oil choices (with a few exceptions, like Multi Air, etc.). When exceeding the life span of coolant, or mixing incompatible coolants, I have seen gaskets and metals fail, gelling, crystallization, electrolysis, and other expensive failures. Know your coolant, and when and how to change it.
Our Alfa Giulia/Stelvio 2.0 and 2.9 engines use the same coolant. It is an O.A.T. (Organic Acid Technology) type of coolant. Originally spec’d as a Chrysler MS.90032, that has been changed to MS12106 a 10 year - 150K mile life. I doubt that the fluid changed at all; just the numbers. The original coolant fill on these engines is Petronas Paraflu /Parafull (I’ve seen it both ways. One might be a concentrate, one a 50-50 mix). It is: borate, phosphate, silicate, nitrate, and amine, free. It is stated on the bottle: ASTM D3306 Type3, CUNANC956-16, Chrysler MS12106, Fiat 9.55523, Lotus PE-00140, Maserati-Approved. Made by Viscosity Oil Co. Willowbrook, Il. Give them a call at 630-850-4000
I have spoken to Prestone engineers at 888-269-0750 on two calls, months apart, who both said that their product. Prestone with Cor-Guard is safe to use to add to the system, or to use when flushing and filling. It has the ASTM D3306 rating. I hope that this helps. Ciao, AlfaAndy
