Yeah, G05 should be the right stuff. The key is that it's HOAT and phosphate free. Without knowing the specifics of the Peak stuff, the results could be anywhere from no big deal to gooey gel forming in the cooling system. Chances are it's fine, but personally I would never sleep again knowing it was in there.
Make-specific special-colored dealer-only fluids are a big fat scam designed to keep consumers from buying parts store fluids. But you know, in the end, $30 is cheap insurance so I say roll with it. You can always source this stuff from ECS Tuning, FCP Euro, EEuroparts, or a bunch of other places for less than the dealer charges anyway.
