Hi all,
what coolant does my 95' 2.5 V6 need? On OOF everybody said orange, Haynes talks ethylene glycol based antifreeze but nothing about it's colour, my hun language guide writes about green or blue-green antifreeze in case of prefacelift cars. What's correct? Thanks for any advice!

Vauxhall's standard anti-freeze is red, it used to be blue. Its badged as long life 5 years, but personally, I replace my coolant every year 

TBH it does not matter that colour it is, as long as its changed every couple of years.

Agreed. About 4.5 litres is required by the V6 for a fifty-fifty mix....

The blue stuff is only good for 12 months in theory

That's it I've talked about in the subject     The swap is done but I could not fill into the system more than 3.5 liters. Started engine no EML, seems OK. Or...?
