Seems very cheap mate - I go for Vx long life red anti freeze @ ~£10 for 5 Lits on TC - lasts 3 years before needing change - think @ £6 for 5 lits will be blue change after 1 year type with no anti-corrosion preotection.  You may be lucky but generally in this life you gets what you pay for  ;)

Just asked some of the lads who hang around the town centre, apparently that stuff is rather nice with a drop of meths added to give it extra 'body'! ;D ;)
