That vw pink coolant is probably G12 - That is what is in my TDI. Its supposed to be lifetime. Not sure what the generic name/specification is.
Trying to sort out the different coolants by type and specification will make your head dizzy. I suspect most owners give up and go with the manufacturers brand and buy at inflated prices.
There is a big difference between knowing what is "safe" for your car and what is "best."
In some cases like the Vanagon with head leak issues both safe and best meant phosphate free coolant. But for the average C900 owner the answer may be less clear especially if you change fluids once every year or so.
