If you waited until the coolant is brown you waited too long. Have the system professionally flushed at that point.
anything that is 3* on the bottle will do as long its ready mixed
In 1975 no manufacturer was really recommending a particular coolant. So any good quality antifreeze will do as long as that is all that is in the system. Don't mix coolant types
Yes, as long as you are certain that it is the coolant reservoir.
Yes as long as it is mixed 50-50 with coolant/antifreeze.
It originally came with green coolant. It is critical that you know what kind of antifreeze your car takes. There are 2 general kinds. Long life and traditional Green coolant. The sensors base data on the correct chemical composition of the one that was originally installed in it. Therefore adding wrong one may cause the ecm to adjust the fuel mixture incorrectly or cause sensor damage. Some vehicles require different long life coolants- GM has Dex-cool, Ford just came out with another, Honda has their own. If the concentration is too great or too weak, it will not work correct. The original coolant in that car was "green coolant". This old style antifreeze should never be mixed with the newer long life coolant, unless it is a "universal" or "global" coolant that is supposedly compatible with both. The coolant capacity is in your owners manual, usually in the "servicing your vehicle" section. And as for the color. Read the temp ratings on the antifreeze bottles, and use whichever you need according to your climate. Be sure to keep in mind the difference between pure antifreeze, and prediluted (50/50 or half water, half antifreeze).
it has long life antifreeze from new the coolant system holds 8.3 litres if you put 3 litres of antifreeze in and the rest in water it will be ok might have a bleed screw on thermast houseing hope his helps Shane
Conventional antifreeze is generally good for older vehicles. You can also consider 'long life' antifreeze - it's good for all make, model and year of vehicle or original antifreeze color. PEAK Long Life Antifreeze will protect for 150,000 miles/5 years. If your antifreeze hasn't been changed for 2-3 years for conventional coolant/antifreeze or 5 years for long life formulas, it's time for a flush and fill. - PEAK Automotive; peakauto.com
