coolant...

My engine currently has pink coolant in it and I can't find any pink coolant anywhere anymore! Is it true that you cannot mix coolants- or am I being over cautious by worrying about it?

As long as the strength of the anti-freeze is high enough for the winter I don't think the colour matters. The colour comes from the dye added to stop people drinking it (by accident or otherwise!). Shouldn't be a problem mixing it. Just check the dilution rate on the bottle.

Vauxhall sell " pink " antifreeze if you are being fussy.

Use any ethylene glycol-based antifreeze. The pink colour is simply a dye. The concentration to use is usually one part water to one part antifreeze but check to manual first.

Ford coolant is pink, too.
