Last checks on Antifreeze before the big day tomorrow! (including pictures)

[The Fatty]

I have bought the 5L Renault Type D antifreeze today from renault for £12. GSF wanted £20! Anyway, when i got home, I thought I would compare the color to the existing color to see if its the right stuff. The existing stuff looks like this:



Not green, but more of a yellow. Heres a picture of the new vs the old...



Does this look right?! Am a safe to go ahead tomorrow? I know someone said it goes yellowis when old but i wasnt expecting that much of a differance. Other differences are smell and taste, but i guess thats to be expected!

yea old stuff turns yellow over time.

thats good news. The bad news is, i just tested the new stuff for its strength and its the same as the old stuff! So I guess its just nativly a weak antifreeze! Im still going to go ahead with tit though as I expect the anti-corrosion inhibiters have all broken down by now...

Its rated to -22c in its pre mixed state anyway so don't worry about it. Last year was one of the coldest ever and it only hit around -17 iirc

Also if your doing a full flush then the colour difference makes no odds anyway.
