They certainly are and its worth getting it changed soon as the weather will be getting cooler soon the G12++ is afaik just an updated coolant so to speak to replace the earlier stuff some dealers may have stock of the older stuff i don't think it makes all that much difference it could be down to the fact of the make up of the coolant,inhibitors etc etc
