exchange the cooler hose / colour

good morning,

i have to exchange my "cooler hose".

up to now I ever used the red coolant colored fluid
but i have heard that i should use an other colored fluid
for the cooler hoses - when I refill the whole system.

which colour should I use - or ...
do i have to use the green colored fluid in the coolant and also
in the surge tank ...

I hope my question is clear in that poor english words ^^
and u have an advice

thx in advance, stephan

When you buy the antifreeze just make sure it says "compatible with all coolants" or something to that effect on the jug. Or if you can, flush the system and refill with new "green" coolant.
