I used red(well the pink/orange stuff) then swapped to blue, no change ;)

And then there is the chemical component of galvanic corrosion. I would read some more articles, and maybe some articles from some better sources as coolant is matched to the radiator for a long time now. Blue doesn't protect your alloy radiator and you ll have leaks within a short time. Organic acids in moderncoolants will attack the old copper rads. Do proper research before bluntly stating incorrect facts, based on 'some' online article, on a public forum.

horse ****. You can run either chemical through either material of radiator. Look up Aston Martin's paper on it. Get your head out your arse and stop reading Wikipedia for you answers.

Stop watching YouTube for your answers... ;)
Get a degree in chemistry and learn some manners.

I get my answers from those working in modern automotive industry. Don't need a chemistry degree to know basic concepts.
