This page is all about automotive (blue) antifreeze. There's also pink RV antifreeze which is a non-toxic antifreeze and used in eg plumbing in boats and RV's when not in use. https://www.doityourselfrv.com/rv-antifreeze/

What f***ing d**k-wad moderator is reverting edits to this innocuous article which give brief, pertinent and carefully placed information regarding the dangers (to equipment) mixing any of the three most commonly used automotive (and other applications) incompatible Glycol antifreeze types (IAT, OAT and HOAT) that causes sludging / jellying (blockages). People using Wikipedia for a subject like this are most likely interested in the pit-falls or to understand the many caveats Antifreeze and equipment manufacturers give, extolling their products while warning of danger, mixing incompatible product (for fear, uncertainty & doubt - FUD to boost market share / sales). I spent several hours from many sources to understand the reasoning for not mixing the different glycol antifreeze formulas. S**t-for-brains moderation like this is why I will never ever financially contribute to Wikipedia, and probably why so many people find this supposedly open encyclopaedia an absolute slanted waste of time.

A general guide to vehicle Antifreeze (colour does NOT necessarily indicate type!) different manufacturers use various colour dies. Never ever risk mixing different types (IAT / OAT / HOAT) or go by colour when topping up, it will cause chemicals to form sludge or jelly that block passages. If in doubt, flush and install manufacturers recommended, strength etc. Note that some manufacturers (e.g. Comma) do not label their products terribly clearly such as "Comma Super Coldmaster Concentrate" (Blue) which is in fact mono ethylene glycol IAT. The three most common types of antifreeze are...
