Lord O War Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Don't rely on antifreeze colour anymore as it does not always mean what you think it does. Check what spec you need and check the spec on the bottle, it's the only way to be sure. Also don't use OAT in older vehicles (pre 2000 I think) as it can cause trouble with seals and don't mix the different types of antifreeze as it can turn into a gell.
