Quick coolant question

Post by Scottd » Sun Feb 17, 2008 6:03 pm

Do you think this'll be ok to mix in with the normal yellow/green type... I got it from the local car shop as Rover garage was shut. It says green on the bottle and everything sounds about right... but when I poured it into a jug to mix with water it looked blue? Do you reckon it's just a different manufacturers colour choice? I think they sell a blue coolant too, god knows what colour that is!?

Yup, it'll be fine. The green and blue stuff is generally OK to mix - its the red / orange OAT stuff that you cant put in unless you do a drain / flush / refill :thumbsup

Agreed. It's what comma suggest for S1 elise. It's green as in eco friendly, blue in colour.

Cheers,
