what kind of radiator do i have?

i'm a stickler for preventative maintenance. i just want to make sure that i'm safe.

also whats the procedure for getting a glycol test at the dealer? i just want to do it for a piece of mind. do i bring them a sample or do i take the car there? if i have to bring them a sample, whats the most simple way to extract it?

i looked on the passenger side top of the radiator, but could not find any sticker. there was only this marking which looks scrambled and is not legible to me.

a dealer quoted me $100 to do the glycol test - is this too much?
