Antifreeze

[Honness]

Right now my antifreeze is mixed with green and red. Should I drain it and put in green? Right now both my Model A and 37 Ford are that way. Thanks..

I have been advised to never mix green and red anti freeze but I have no scientific data to back up that statement.

JMO but I would drain it and go back to the green after a clear water flush. Getting too complicated anymore with oils, antifreeze and lubes. But the companies sure keep us spending don't they.

Honness:

A friend mixed red and green antifreeze together back in 1980 and it turned into a thick sludge that clogged his radiator and destroyed his engine. Car was a 1969 Pontiac.

Some claim that the two mixed antifreezes are compatible but, I disagree. Stay on the safe side and run either green or red (pink).

Drain and flush ASAP. Fill with the green stuff.

Thanks all for your input. I will change it out right away.

if not sure go with one or the other unless both say they are completable some mix some don't . Me i use a generic premix that's available almost anywhere here yes its generic but comes from a high calibre supplier not from the local snake oil outlet
