Diesel specific coolant question

Post by foxycanuck »

Do you need it/use it? 2 Auto places told me I need it, and I trust them, but the diesel specific stuff I bought was purple... what was in there was standard coolant green. Is there a difference? Can they mix?

It is funny, we had that discussion on here before, but no one came to any agreement!

I have Green coolant in mine, and many of the places that do it use the Green coolant in the Delica's, but there is no clear defined answer to that question as of yet. At least, not that I know of! (I believe it has something to do with the types of metal used in different engines, but don't take my word for that, it is only a guess.)
