what antifreeze for 2017 panda? help
actually with oat type coolant the red one used in most modern cars it had a lifespan of 5 year'sI use anything thats the same colour with a current spec. I believe glycol free is the right stuff. After two years you should test to make sure its still effective (hydrometer) Most anti freeze products mix with all others, and it will say on the label. Manufacturers recommend changing the fluid around two years. Its good practice as corrosion inhibitors in new fluid may be worth the expense / mess of changing.
Absolutely correct. Mixing OAT with Blue or Green antifreeze can cause it to thicken. It was one of the problems in the Rover K engine when owners changed the anitfreeze or topped up with the wrong stuff without properly flushing the OAT out.The correct type is the OAT type usually coloured red. Different coloured anti freeze should not be mixed
