- - Question on Coolant Expansion Tank Replacement (http://forums.pelicanparts.com/mini-discussion-forum/761506-question-coolant-expansion-tank-replacement.html)

Recently replaced my R53 tank and purchased genuine mini coolant to replace what was removed / lost. New coolant was dark blue while, what I believe is, original coolant was green as well as all coolant I see in the tutorials. Was mixing the two perfectly ok? I thought all BMW / mini coolant should be the blue type. There is endless contradicting/ vague information on coolant types on the Internet and want to be certain of type to use when I do a coolant change. Thanks

If you purchased genuine MINI coolant you can mix it. The coolant in your vehicle may look darker due to age.
