    P38A Antifreeze

    95 4.6 auto 207k 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
