Well today I open the hood and im checking everything under the hood and I look at my overflow tank and the coolant looks really dirty.......I cant remember the exact color the coolant is (G05) Does this look like really dirty coolant water to anyone else of is it just me????? ....I might just flush it again.....Attachment 24102
I think the normal color of Valvolene G05 (HOAT) is yellow.
The long life version (5/150) is orange.
