Blackstar Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I currently have blue antifreeze in my car and I am unsure of its age. I'd like to replace it, but I ordered pink by mistake. If I were to completely drain and flush through the old blue, would there be any issue in replacing with the pink? I personally don't see why there would be an issue, I know you shouldn't top up with different types, but a mechanic has said it shouldn't be done. Cheers in advance.

Ekona Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Return pink, buy blue instead. Surely the easiest way to do things, and it means everything stays consistent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 ^Agree. The hassle to flush the system is more than just getting the proper stuff and much riskier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenLandy Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Always put the right sort in, different types mixing can react with each other. Some types form a gel-like substance which doesn't help with cooling one bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
