The previous owner probably used the generic brand of coolant.

It's not good to mix coolant. I suggest you reflush the coolant and use G12 (for better assurance IMO).

The car in the picture is also a non turbo model. That's why it looks different.

The coolant isn't all that expensive, and if you have time you can definitely flush and replace it yourself

PS fluid is green, IIRC.

Green coolant is fine, just don't mix it with G12. One or the other.
