Blue and green stuff are the same and red is for aluminium blocks or aluminium radiators as the blue stuff is corrosive to aluminium red is a safe bet but it's a wee bit dearer.

My work sells 5 ltrs of concentrate millers oils blue anti freeze to the general public for £19.99 retail! Me giving the people on this forum discount youse would get that for £12.

I think its fly as fook how the charge about the same for pre-mixed as they do for concentrate! just paying for water!

After much umming and arrhhing i decided to buy some red stuff from Halfords yesterday. £14 for 2litres concentrate
I'm going to be flushing out my cooling system anyway which i think has blue stuff in. Apparently the red stuff if for cars built after 1998 , are they making the assumption that all cars built after that date can use OAT tecnology, or that they have aliuminium blocks , who knows !!
Slight concern was that nissan wanted to sell me the blue/green stuff,but i'm guessing that some of you have been using the red stuff with no problems.
