I don't know.

Researching on the internet, they should have pink antifreeze, but every one I've seen is filled with green.
The only green OAT antifreeze I can find is made by Honda.

Don't worry about it, I put pink in mine as it lasts 5 years, which is quite a short time, if I used the 2 year it would have corroded through the engine block by the time I come to change it. I've reached the age where I swear blind that I did a job last year and when I get the receipts out it was 10 years ago :ohmy:

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Two year ago when i bought my jimny new it had green anti-freeze.At the 27000mile service a few weeks ago the main dealer changed it for blue.They said this is correct,either green or blue is ok.The trouble is there are too many types,yellow,pink,blue,green,hoat,oat,silicate free,plus many other variations and it gets confusing which type to use.The engine oil they use is a Q8 brand that is unavailable to buy but in their garages they push Castrol oil.It would be better for Suzuki to list all the suitable fluids in the handbook under the trade names and not a Suzuki specific part number.
