As post above Motul inugel optimum is prob one of the favourite ones it comes as said premixed, or concentrated. Concentrated one is same title but has ultra on it aswell. Wont get it in halfords most likely have to mail order unless theres anyone local to you that sells it. Opie oils, powerenhancer, camskill, etc all sell it shop around though price does vary a bit.

TBH, there are a lot of myths about coolant.

Ask the factor for one with corrosion inhibitor that is suitable for alloy engines.

DO NOT mix different colours, and try not to mix different types.

Use at 50% by volume, use distilled water to mix if you are that bothered.

Always top up with a 50% mix if you ever need to, not just water.

That's about it, TBH.
