BMW coolant usable in Acura RDX?
I've got a jug of BMW coolant left over from my previous car. It's the undiluted kind, but I don't know if different brands of coolant are compatible or can be mixed.

Is this jug usable in my 2015 Acura RDX?

as long as the coolant is phosphate and silicate free, it's usable.

some people will say you cant mix colors, but that's mostly because other coolant colors contain phosphates and silicates.
