Concerns
with modern antifreeze formulations for classic MG enthusiasts
Concerns over the suitability of current antifreeze formulations
for use in classic cars were raised in a recent newsletter from
the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC). When
you refer back to the handbook for the RV8 published it recommends
using an ethyleve glycol based antifreeze, but on visiting the
Bluecol website a small footnote states their Bluecol 5 Year
product is "not suitable for classic cars". So what
does an RV8 enthusiast use for antifreeze today, what are the
issues behind the changes to an iconic motoring product like
Bluecol and what are the concerns for a classic car enthusiast?

Bluecol
2 Year Antifreeze & Summer Coolant, in a pack
with a blue label, is an ethylene glycol based antifreeze
and engine coolant for use throughout the year and is
suitable for all engine types, including aluminium. Bluecol
say "it does not incorporate Organic Acid Technology
(OAT), exceeds the requirements of BS6580" and is
suitable for classic cars". |
