Is it the green stuff? I ask because I did a coolant change on a friend's Kia recently and the OEM stuff was the darkest green I have ever seen. It almost looked like it was NOT diluted.
Yeah its the dark green stuff. I thought it was the darkest I've seen until I changed out my daily drivers antifreeze with Pentofrost A2. Now that stuff is a darker shade of green!
Aha! Maybe they forgot to dilute it at the factory and put in 100%? Let us know what you find.
