Can you mix different colored cooling liquids? I needed to top up the coolant overflow bottle on my motorcycle as it had dropped below the 'low' level. I went to a car shop shop and bought some liquid-coolant. I mixed it 50:50 with deionized water and topped the motorcycle up and felt very pleased with myself. |

Never mix coolant, even different types made by the same company. Also beware of cheap coolants, some actually corrode aluminium. Buy a good brand, or even go for the ones sold by dealers like Honda that their service department use. It might be a bit more expensive but better than getting a new engine! Although there are many different cultures, races and religions in the world, there are only 3 types of people; those that squeeze every last drop out of a toothpaste tube, those that don’t and those that think they do. |

Sadly you should not mix Orange and Green. |
