Default Re: Coolant changes colour....

But now...its turned green!!! Does this normally happen with G-05 coolant? I highly doubt that its mixed with stuff in the engine as its the header tank thats green. When I mix in fresh coolant thats orange, the cooler changes...then goes green again after a run.

Standard G-05 behaviour or not?
If I remember correctly the OEM coolant was a deep blue, I flushed my system out pretty good but when I added the G-05 the result was and still is a greenish color.
Standard reaction, blue plus yellow = green.
