I found once oil coolers are fitted to not add anti freeze straight away, just keep dropping the water and refilling to try and dilute what gloop you have in there at first, put Forte in doing what the instructions say, then drop the water as instructions, followed with loads of clear water again running it for a few days constantly dropping and refilling until the water is lovely and clear. Then add the anti freeze :y
