Correct PAS fluid and coolant?
Need to get myself some pink coolant and some red pas fluid. Any particular one I need?

Pink coolant? Why pink?
Isnt the pink stuff normally OAT type, like the stuff from Halfords? I thought Scoobs use the green/blue type which is different as its ethylene glycol based and is NAP free (no nitrite, amine and phosphate) Some say you should use genuine Subaru coolant apparently. When I did my coolant change not long ago I used Shell Radiator Fluid from a Shell garage as it says NAP free on the bottle and mixed it with distilled battery water from Halfords. |

Please...cooolant colour means nothing, it's a dye, that's all. TYPE is everything, glycol or OAT. DO NOT mix the two.

PAS fluid on the left bought at GSF, coolant on the right from Halfords |
Is it safe to mix too different brands as long as they are of the same mixture/additives?
