Hi

Firstly Ive done some searches dont cant seem to find a straight answer, Is the pink OAT coolant safe to use in the 300tdi? my coolant is slightly low and I need to top it up, currently it has the pink OAT stuff in

Thats a very good link. So can i use any anti freeze in a 1992 2.5 NA? Or does it have to be specific? I know in my Toyota Rav we had to change over to the red anti freeze as the stuff that was put in at the factory was eating head gaskets
