Does it matter what type of coolant I put in my vehicles, RED coolant, GREEN coolant, I live on an Island that is summer all year roundDoes the coolant I put in my cars really make a difference? If there is a difference,Can you specify?
It matters and sometimes matters a lotMixing coolant colors is not recommended, many manufacturers make their own for a reasonSome examples for you: BMW - Blue Antifreeze Coolant with Silicates, Specifically adapted for use in alloy engines Prevents lime formation Does not foam Protects against corrosion and cavitation Amine, nitrate and phosphate free VW/Audi/Skoda - G11 coolant, G11 can only be mixed with blue or green antifreezeG11 coolant helps prevent corrosion of aluminum alloys and the formation of scaleChev/GM - orange DexCool (mix it with another coolant and create gel inside your engine) Diesel engines - RED long life SCA fortified coolant to resist cavitation Generic green crap - goes into anything that doesnt specify a coolant type
