Additional information:
Description:

Overview

Millers Alpine Blue Concentrate is a traditional Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) antifreeze formulated with Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT) — the correct coolant chemistry for classic engines. Ideal for Austin Healeys and other classic and vintage vehicles using copper, brass, and soldered radiators, it provides dependable frost and corrosion protection without attacking older metals or seals.

Key Benefits

  • Provides up to 2 years’ corrosion and frost protection.
  • NAP-free — contains no nitrates, amines, or phosphates.
  • Safe for cast iron, steel, aluminium, brass, and solder joints.
  • Meets and exceeds BS 6580:2010 specifications.
  • Mixes with deionised or distilled water for optimum performance.
  • Made in Britain by Millers Oils — trusted by restorers and workshops.

Fitment & Compatibility

Suitable for all Austin Healey models (BN1–BJ8 and Sprite/Midget) using classic copper/brass radiators or heater cores. Also compatible with other British classics requiring an IAT ethylene glycol coolant.

Not suitable for: vehicles using modern aluminium radiators designed for OAT or hybrid antifreeze formulations.

Installation & Mixing

Drain the existing coolant and flush the system. Mix Alpine Blue Concentrate with deionised or distilled water before filling (do not use tap water). After filling, run the engine until warm to circulate and expel air pockets. Dispose of old coolant responsibly.

Why Choose This Part

Modern OAT antifreezes are unsuitable for classic radiators — they can attack solder and brass. Millers Alpine Blue provides period-correct chemistry with proven corrosion inhibitors, giving classic Healeys modern reliability without compromising originality.

FAQs

Is this antifreeze suitable for copper and brass radiators?

Yes — it’s specifically designed for classic radiators using copper, brass, and solder joints, unlike modern OAT antifreeze which can cause corrosion.

How often should I replace the coolant?

Replace every 2 years or sooner if the coolant appears cloudy or rusty. Long-term protection depends on correct concentration and clean mixing water.

Can I mix Alpine Blue with other antifreeze types?

No — do not mix with OAT or hybrid types. Always flush the system before switching formulations.

What water should I use to dilute it?

Use deionised or distilled water. Tap water introduces minerals that reduce corrosion protection and cooling efficiency.

Is it premixed or concentrate?

This is a concentrate — mix to your required protection level before filling.
