VY V6 Acclaim
Hi. I have bought 12L worth of Nulon SCRLLTU-SIX Organic Coolant from Supercheap for my VY V6 Commodore. Can I use the red stuff instead of green? I have read that the green coolants further prevent corrosion in cast blocks. I am doing a complete overhaul of the cooling system. Thermostat, Water Pump, Hoses, and a complete flush out. I don't know much about coolants so this is my last resort for decent information.

Most of us use Nulon.

I used to use 10/10 in the Senator since it was great in the Z Maloo. But turns out the Senator prefers Nulon. I switched back 18months ago after replacing everything in the cooling system.

For all the 5Ls and V6s we use Nulon. For the LS we use 10 tenths.

Going to keep that one in mind.
