Hi
i will have a go for you. My TVR handbook says 50% Glycol antifreeze and my Rangie says Ethylene Glycol based and suitable for ally engines. I think you will see on the container this info.
Mobil 1, i do not use it, makes my tappets ratle on start up(of course this is only my case) you may have seen the discussion on here about oil.
Lastly, is there not a web tour? Maybe i had a dream.
