          Antifreeze

          1. Does the color of antifreeze matter? Can you mix different colored products?

            Color can be a factor as many antifreeze and vehicle manufacturers dye antifreeze for identification purposes. It is recommended to always follow the specifications in your owner's manual for coolant applications.

          2. Can you mix Dexcool® with other antifreeze products?

            Mixing coolants has the potential to cause corrosion issues. Valvoline recommends using the correct antifreeze/coolant for your particular application.

          Motor Oil Myths

          As long as you change the oil filter, you can run longer between oil changes.
          Valvoline recommends changing the oil filter every 3,000 miles with the oil. Both oil and oil filters have less of a useful life under severe conditions due to increased dirt and other contaminants. So, changing the oil and filter every 3,000 miles is the best way to ensure engine health.
