    Hi,

    Found some BLUECOL from last July 09 what i used in my 06 Astra, You think i could use that?. It is the same color.

    Thank you for your replies.

    This stuff?? Bluecol

    Should be fine. I know some say not to mix anti freeze but its so inpractical if just needs a top up. As long as its OATS and the same colour it "should" be fine

    EDIT - actually not sure what the shelve life is like on these things - personally i would pop into a local car parts place and pick up a new bottle to top up with.
