antifreeze

[quohog]

OK folks enlighten me.


was going through the lt yesterday morn and found I needed to top off the coolant. Now maybe I am stupid but I have only had the LT 2 months. The coolant that is in there is blue. What other coolant would be reccomended for the LT besides BMW`s of course.

The Coolanol that i use on my Honda certainly isnt Blue.


NO one tell me its Windshield washer fluid either.

Thanks to all in advance.

I am becoming Confused, amazed and overwhelmed by this engineered marvel

I found that the BMW branded antifreeze is cost effective. It is straight antifreeze. I personally would not mix antifreeze brands.. JMO and I'm sure if all your additives were friendly between the brands it would not matter.. like I said it is not cost effective to chose otherwise.

You might look at the bottom of this thread.. I get this link Antifreeze compatibility (http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14489)
