The 2nd link

do not use the 1st in a 95 classic

i use the one in the 2nd link,5 litre bottle of it for i think £12 or £15.99

use 4 litres antifreeze,3-4 litres water,depending on how well you drain it

Basically the 95 was designed when only Glycol was around, OAT is a relatively new form of anti freeze so the 95 cars really only need glycol based anti freeze,if you do a search or google you will find some have had issues when using OAT in a 95 classic,foaming out the overflow etc etc throffing up of coolant.

you have been lucky i guess :-)

hang on, the basic mechanics of the impreza bottom end havent really changed. I cant understand why anyone would have problems using it whether its a 93 or a newage. unless thay are having problems due to build ups of scale or rust in the system.

I did check when at halfords and it stated it was ok to use. either way it aint caused me any bother and I only have to change it every five years, bonus!

whats the bottom end got to do with it ?

its the metals used in the block/system that benefit from antifreeze !

anyway,as i said,do a search/some research and all will be revealed and as i said,you are lucky i guess
