Evening Gents,
Hope you're all well.
I decided to flush out my old coolant and wonder what sort of antifreeze I should use.
Mine is a 1979 131 1300 CL pushrod engine.

I see some are blue, some red.

My Haynes Manual says Glycol based......

I'm going to need just under 2 litres for a 25% mixture.

Thanks for any advice you can give.
Cheers
Pete

I would stick with the good old-fashioned Glycol based Blue stuff and change it every two years.

Remember that anti freeze temp should be calculated with moving airflow chill and not just static air temp.   Rad gets colder as you drive in ice cold temps.

Use a 50% mix.
