P38A Antifreeze

When I first got my P38 she had pink antifreeze
I therefore continued using OAT stuff
I now learn, according to Halrodsm that she should have silicate anti freeze.
What colour is silicate antifreeze?
Can silicate and OAT be mixed?
Should I use silicate?
Thank you for your opinions

use the old fashioned stuff that you need to change every couple of years because that's all that was around in the 60s

If you change then you need to wash the old stuff out until it's 100% clear.

You change it regularly because you can't keep it in the system.
