Eeek Radiator Fluid Options

[cibrit-]

Hey guys!

Alright, so I change my oil today and before I did it I checked my other fluids. I opened my radiator cap and looked in... the fluid is brownish.

My question is:

Could this just be because the radiator fluid is to old?

If not what else could the problem be?

Not necessarily. Was it green before? I used Dex-cool fluid for many years. It's orange and when slightly dirty it can look very much "brownish". I have also seen pink-looking fluid. You need to know how it looked when it was put in. Otherwise it means nothing.

thats true, and ford has yellow, and honda has blue, but the green stuff, regular antifreeze is whats rec. for our caars. newer toyotas are pink like u said. lol
