OAT Antifreeze at Euro Car Parts

Slightly related ( price mismatching - when used in conjunction with OFFERS ). Whenever I order a DOMINO's pizza, I have to use an INTERNET EXPLORER browser and that usually always gets me a BOGOF pizza offer. Any other browser gets me their usual deal of the day ( which might be first one full price, second one half price - that sort of thing ).

No thanks ecp ... I did not take the bait. Lol!

What ever the discount you manage to get, lets hope the quality of the product is up to par.

I've not forgiven ECP for blue anti-freeze that turned to jelly in a sealed 5 litre tub.
Unfortunately I'd had it a year before I came to use it, but that shouldn't matter in a sealed container stored in my shed.

Perhaps it can't cope with freezing conditions ????

Any antifreeze concentrate is 95% ethylene glycol, which freezes solid at -12C. Left in an unheated shed in a cold winter, it will quite easily go gelatinous when it gets very cold. As it warms up in the Spring, it's back to normal.

Did you get rid of it or end up using it ??

The anti-freeze arrived safely & as been mixed already into three 5lt using some I had left over this will be used now for topping up at meets & services.

Bargain what not to like, Happy New Year everyone make it a good one.

FWIW, went into ECP today, checked out Red OAT concentrate at £17.99/5L, I asked if they could do it for a better price, got offered £11.29.
So the moral is : ASK.

It was during the summer I was needing it after replacing my radiator in my classic Mini.
But anti-freeze that goes into a gelatinous state when the temperature drops?
So, it sort of freezes? Doesn't sound very good to me.

I didn't feel confident in using it.
I took it my local recycling facility.
