zev Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hi , Happy 2012 to you all hope you all have a wonderful year. I'm confused about my anti freeze. My original anti freeze in my car is the OAT which is a sort of fluorescent orange/pink colour. I bought a ready mixed bottle from Halfords which is same colour, I bought another one the other day from T.M.S which is described as OAT, but is more of a red colour and not fluorescent. I'm confused now is it still ok to use as the colour is differant. If your wondering why I'm buying so much its because I have a leak, my mechanic tells me my external pump is faulty. I am having a new pump next month when my bank balance has gotton over Christmas. zev :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojariggs Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Anti freeze comes in all sorts of colours (although red/pink and blue/green are the most common). As long as it is to the spec you should have it will be fine. TBH, if you have a leak then any coolant is going to always be better than none anyway! ;) Cheers Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 As long as its OAT i don't see why there should be an issue. the new ford stuff is a translucent purple colour but you can still mix it with the orange stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
