The only one here who didn't know what Blue Coolant was about!!

I just found the link to the penrite page, good info.

So we have Blue coolant, Red coolant and Green coolant? The coolant debate might go on party lines...

What application are you using the blue coolant in...

I'm using it in the rangie.
There's been a few members in the L322 section saying that the coolant sector comes up on the screen if its not the right amount of coolant in it.Something about the percentage of coolant to water.
Apparently BMW only uses blue coolant,so if thats what they put into there beasts,thats what I'll put in.(I've got the td6 in mine).
At $16.85 for a litre of concentrate,its cheap enough insurance for the motor.

cheers

I hope your "local auto guy" used the Correct and Specified Auto trans fluid and not the cheap crap they usually use, good luck, Regards Frank.
