Re: coolant in 2001 - what color is it?? Posted by JimBlake [Email] (#141) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JimBlake) on Wed, 16 Jun 2004 07:36:28 In Reply to: coolant in 2001, mchael, Tue, 15 Jun 2004 22:49:03 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Our 2001 came with the blue stuff (built in january, we bought it new). Everyone calls it blue, but its a little greenish - nowhere near as BRIGHT green as Prestone. Saab's DexCool stuff is red/orange. If you know it's the factory fill, there's no mistaking the difference.
If it's possible that it was changed by a previous owner, all bets are off. You can't ALWAYS tell by the color. Besides, it's not that difficult to rinse it a few times with water before filling it with whatever you want. 8 or 10 gallons of distilled water at the grocery store doesn't cost THAT much. I probably did 4 or 5 drain/fill cycles to ours before it came out clear.
