Asked in Antifreeze and Engine Coolant
Does it matter if you use red or green antifreeze?
Well... sort of.
Antifreeze is not naturally colored; coloring agents are added
to it. There's no law requiring that a particular type of
antifreeze be a specific color, but in general, different colors
are used for different types, and it is important to use the
right type of antifreeze.
So, to sum up: the type of antifreeze matters, the color
doesn't, but different colors usually mean different
types.
