<p>I've used regular 'green stuff' with distilled water--deionized
is fine, too--for over 130K miles in my BJ8 with no
cooling/coolant issues (roughly 40/60 AF/water). You can use more
water if there's no chance of a freeze, and you'll get slightly
better cooling. Chances are, you'll be draining and replacing
your coolant occasionally for reasons not necessarily related to
the cooling system anyway.</p>
<p>The OAT stuff should work fine, but the article mentions a
potential contamination problem. The Castrol seems a bit dear;
regular Prestone 'green' goes for about $17/gallon over here, and
a gallon gives about a 40/60 water/AF mix which is good down to
below freezing. I recently had my engine overhauled and there was
no scale or sludge to speak of.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all
<div><br>
I need to replace the coolant/antifreeze and was wondering if
it mattered what type I used?<br>
<br>
AH Spares has Castrol anti-freeze at £11 / ltr, whereas
Halfords (local high street car store) has OAT Antifreeze
Concentrate at £5 / ltr.</div>

<div>I live in temperate Lancashire UK, so I don't need to cope
with any temperature extremes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, can I just use the modern one?</div>
