@rodnisimo fortunately, many major brands changed their formulas especially with the number of modern cars requiring phosphate free / silicate free formulas. you would be OK if the coolant used was a phosphate free / silicate free formula. regardless of color. many European car makers wanted phosphate free is because is due to the hard water content they have in Europe. so if you mix coolants containing phosphates plus the hard water they use in Europe corrosion can occur.
I have a Vanagon and my "mechanic" used standard green coolant. Big NO NO. The Vanagon requires "phosphate free" coolant. It's blue or red and they do not sell it at gas stations. The phosphates eat the head seals in a VW. That can cause your motor to go kablooey. Not good. Be careful.
how is called the tool in 3:57 ? please tell me <3
