Hey guys,

Just a quick question which coolent is the best for the vr6.

At current its a green colour not sure what it is. Thats how I got it when I bought it and didn't think much of it cause I thought that's what the colour should be.

Will it affect it at all if its green? I have been told to put hepu g12 anti freeze into it.

Thanks for your responces guys.
