Not posting this question for another silly debate of red vs green coolant. Wondering if folks know WHY the industry has moved away from green coolant for most new cars.
Here’s why I’m in a funk
I did an LS swap with a 2010 aluminum block 5.3. But to keep costs down, elected to keep the ‘93, radiator. Checking fluids, realized I’m using green coolant. I’m assuming the aluminum 2010 should use the newer red coolants, and the old radiator was designed for the green.
Not sure why I elected the green at the time. Certainly more concerned with the proper care of the engine.
Is the green more corrosive to an aluminum engine ?
