Some normal colors are green, yellow, red, pink, orange, blue,....
Same color as what?
Nothing Nothing
The green colour is just a dye. Green antifreeze is generally referred to as "universal" antifreeze - it's accepted in a very wide range of motors, both petrol and diesel.
The colour isn't what's important - it's what's on the label. If you have a vehicle which requires Dex-Cool antifreeze, then you need to look for something which is Dex-Cool approved. That will usually be orange or red in colour.
in some case it will. the composition of antifreeze is different by colour. in some engines the chemicals react with the engine parts (i.e. gaskets or seals) and cause the parts to fail. use the proper antifreeze for your engine.
You want to use Green coolant, with a 50/50 mix.
I use the genuine 'Toyota Long life Coolant' it is red in colour
If it is green in colour it is the standard anti freeze that you have seen and used on all vehicles. If it is red/brownish/pinkish/colour it is called "Dexcool".That is GM's long life antifreeze(5 years between change intervals) You do not want to wait this long .Have ENTIRE SYSTEM on car flushed every 2 years for proper maintenance
Its likely you will need a OAT (Organic Acid Technology) antifreeze if the original stuff is bright pink. Don't mix different colour of antifreeze. If you have Blue or Green in the car, it will need a complete flush before refilling with pink (OAT)
In a Citroën Saxo, the recommended antifreeze is typically a green or blue color, which indicates that it is based on ethylene glycol. However, it's important to check the owner's manual or consult with a mechanic, as different engine types may require specific formulations. Always ensure that the antifreeze meets the manufacturer's specifications for optimal performance and protection against corrosion.
you may have added the wrong type of antifreeze or you just need to flush the system
No, there are generally two types of coolant, both manufactured from different synthetic components, coolant/antifreeze can appear red in colour or green which is more common and if mixed can cause a chemical reaction that is considered corrosive, this 'mixing or combining' of coolants is not recommended by manufacturers.
