Reply To: Which Coolant

[profchristopher-green]

Halfords- website- paraphrasing but you can read it yourself– Cars made after 1998 +/-  normally need antifreeze /coolant that uses silicate-free, organic acid technology (OAT). These types of antifreeze offer better corrosion protection so that parts don’t need to be changed as often. Cars made before 1998 usually need antifreeze that isn’t OAT-based and that does contain silicate.

I was always taught –Whilst colour isn’t always necessarily an indicator of chemistry PINK is generally  OAT and BLUE not- AND not to be mixed together
