Great War truck Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I will change the antifreeze on the Jeep this weekend. I have got a new container of blue star, but it has been sitting on the shelf for the last two years. As it says change the anti freeze every two years is it past its shelf life, or does the two years only apply to the stuff once it is in the system? Thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Child Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Remember that blue doesn't necessarily mean safe. From what I can see though, IATs are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
