Michael;
Brown coolant is the stuff you want to get rid of!! :~) Just kidding, but I
only know of two colors
of coolant , green and the new pink colored Dex-Cool junk that's being passed
off as 100,000 mile or 5 year anti-freeze. I'm in the automotive fluid
maintenance business, and we've seen a number of these newer cars with this
stuff in them where the coolant has started to crystallize and gel. Pretty
nasty stuff. A lot of the technicians at dealerships are ganking the pink
stuff in favor of the good ol' green coolant.
Some cars, ie:, Volkswagen and Porsche take a low silica formulation of
coolant, but these requirements are normally handled by the top manufacturers
of antifreeze.
