Now its coming on 3y/o the coolant needs changing.Was the factory coolant yellow for some time in the FG or has this been definately replaced, or was it green and gone yellow? Picture attached.

They are quality and available at any automotive place I.e. "Supercheap auto" "Repco" ete etc. You will require 2 X 5Ltr Bottles of coolant and a 2Ltr deminerlised water for a full flush/clean/replace. Will be a noiticeable difference! Yes Tectalloy is designed for the Aussie Falcon.
