On the other hand, Green antifreeze bears the. Red antifreeze is more efficient in promoting a healthy engine along with other cooling systems in the engine. I believe the Toyota coolant is an organic kind, and mixing green with it will spell quick death for your cooling system. Red antifreeze is known as Dexcool which means it can last for a longer period than green antifreeze. But I could hardly find related info overseas.probably OEMed by some factory in my country.if you have ever heard of it, do you think it's applicable to a freelander?īy the way, on the outside of the freelander expansion tank reservoir there's a illustration indicating that "Do not mix green coolant with red coolant". The main issue with mixing these two would be because their technologies are different. But you must also know that there are different coolant colors and different types of coolant. So they are compatible with each other and will not cause any damage to the engine. Both the coolants are ethylene glycol-based coolants. Here in Taiwan I can get a Wurth-branded coolant, green-coloured. If you top up your coolant, you must know that you should use the same color inside your vehicle. Blue and green coolants can be mixed together.
#MIXING GREEN AND RED COOLANT HOW TO#
So how to tell whether a green colored coolant goes with a freelander even though it's labeled as glycol-based? Or I should ask that what types of coolant do you usually choose? It also says that it should be methanol-free and glycol-based. This can make it confusing when trying to decide which coolant you.
#MIXING GREEN AND RED COOLANT MANUAL#
I heard about the myth of mixing green coolant with red coolant creates plastic-like debrits and sludges the pipes of car.but it's about GM & dexcool.ĭoes this rule(?) apply to a feelander? I mean the manual suggests OAT(organic Acid Technology)-based antifreeze, which Texaco once made but no longer does after being acquired by Castrol. I bought a New 1998 S60 in a Century, it came with the Red Extended life coolant. Variations of coolant/antifreeze can come in pink, red, orange, blue, green, and yellow.
