    Correct Coolant for ‘04 9-3?

    The chill air we’ve had this week has brought a warning about my coolant level. I checked this morning before starting the car, was surprised that it was orange, and saw that it’s maybe 1/2” beneath the “cool” line.

    When I buy coolant for this car, what do I need to make sure is on the label and what is not on the label?

    thank you!

    1999 9-3SE (2013-2015), 2005 9-3 (2005-2013), 1990 900 (1990-2003)
    Options

    1. Something that is compatible with Dexcool, like Prestone Dexcool or Zerex Dexcool

    2. drain the coolant, flush it, put BMW coolant, drive a few days, flush it and refill with BMW coolant.
