Paul H Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ive heard Anfifreeze must be blue - just checked and mine is pink - Do I need to change ? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Colour is not important- but what it is, is. Having said that it is often blue - pink is usually oat which is needed for modern alloy blocks. Should be ethylene glycol based with inhibitors for mixed metals.

KevinR Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Checking the Comma data sheet for XsteamG40 shows that it is a Silicated OAT antiftreeze. Not sure that it is suitable for a Triumph engine - you will need to do more research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Paul. Blucol is fine and so is Granville Sub Zero Blue - the latter is the one I use for both of my classics. The club shop is also selling an AF product, cannot recall the name but has I think a 5yrs life span; it was the subject of discussion on a previous thread. Regards. Richard.
