cos you mic blue antifreeze with water and it goes green at the right mixture, could depend on what antifreeze has been used too, think there are a couple of types, some blue and some green.

Yep, there is blue and green, dunno what the difference is apart from the colour.

something to do with the chemical content i think ones methanol glycol & the other is something else.the manual will tell you which you are supposed to use.but i guess some is better than none.something to do with the corrosion properties i think.
