Default Halfords coolant?

I have just bought 5 liters of advanced coolant from halfords:

Halfords Advanced Antifreeze 5 litres from Halfords Price £15.99 Reserve & Collect in selected stores in the Midlands - more stores soon

Is this safe to use in my MY00 classic? Has anyone used it before?

Cheers

Cheers guys,

Did you put the whole 5 litre bottle in or did you mix it 50/50 with water?

Its fine; so long as you change as per service schedule; every several years.

50:50 mix. If you want to be ultra ****; flush system with hose pipe after draining, and use distilled water instead of tap water to refill.
