Anti freeze - red or blue?
 
As title really... car is a 1993 wrx.

the stuff that came out looked blue-ish-maybe... should I just go with that again?

cheers,

mark.

You have to be careful with antifreeze if you mix different types they will react and cause a right mess in your cooling system.If your doing a complete change i would use the OAT type as it last will for about 5 years.

Yes, it's a complete change. i'd heard the same about mixing the 2 different types.. just wondered what was supposed to be in there...

From new it probably had green which is very hard to get hold of. Id put red in it. Its better than the blue

Was only over here a year before I bought it.

will give the red a go then, once i've made sure i've got rid of all the existing stuff.

cheers.

Do both to make purple :lol1:

Pretty easy to get rid off. Drain system. Fill with water. Run car for 20 or 30 mins. Drain again and refill with the new stuff. Just remember when draining the system will be hot. Use extreme caution. I generally run them with no cap on for 20 or so mins. No pressure can then build up
