748 Which Coolant?

  1. Sorry for asking this question but I need to drain the coolant on my 2002 748 and would like recommendations on a suitable replacement coolant? I appreciate this is one of Those topics, but for some reason it's something I struggle with on all my vehicles. One thing I do know is I don't want any of those "water wetter" types, just a simple coolant that's bright enough to see in the expansion tank and will work.....
    Thanks

  2. Go for the latest OAT spec organic type. Longer service life. Give the system a good flush through before filling unless you know how long the old stuff has been in there

  3. As Nelly says; something like this is commonly available, no need to dilute, it’s ready to go.

  4. Thanks gents. I'll go for that one.
     
  5. As an aside, what is the service life of the pink OAT stuff?

    I swapped mine from the blue stuff many years ago but, I've never changed it. :confused:
