When I first got my P38 she had pink antifreeze
I therefore continued using OAT stuff
I now learn, according to Halrodsm that she should have silicate anti freeze.
What colour is silicate antifreeze?
Can silicate and OAT be mixed?
Should I use silicate?
Thank you for your opinions

If you change then you need to wash the old stuff out until it's 100% clear.

You change it regularly because you can't keep it in the system.
