I then went to my owners manual which just states antifreeze coolant ethylene glycol based.

So armed with this info I ordered 5l of comma xstream G30 as according to commas website blurb it is both OAT and ethylene glycol based.

The engine internals didn't ever change on the TD27TI I've always been told that the green protects these lumps better as the glycol levels are a lot higher in that.

I'll only ever use green and my temp guage never creeps even when towing and still a good colour, had a test done on mine recently and tester said was good down to just past -20 so I'm happy
