I have been looking on here at some of your beautiful cars and I've noticed that there is quite a few of you using a lighter greenish?bluish blower coolant. What is it? does it work better than normal? I see it in the S/C coolant res on here and I want it. I'm newish and still learning about the Termi but really want this coolant (if it works). Please tell me what it is.

Some of us have earlier cars that came with the green stuff. Stick with what you have in there now.

stick with what you have in the radiator. you either have green stuff or gold. Use the same in the I/C as your radiator. I mix mine with bottled water

Mine came with yellow. Switched it to green because it was cheaper. Then just went to Preston's green coolant. I know people have been spooked into avoiding changing the color it came with, but I honestly can't say I've ever seen anything when changing my fluid to suggest the mixinf of colors is doing something harmful.

By the time I got my car coolant was green. There's nothing wrong with changing it if you want to, just do a good flush.

I'm currently using Preston's 50/50

mine had ford gold, I drained every inch of it when I did my last change (back in 07) and put any fill prestone in it... about time for another change though :(
