The red one suitable for aluminium engines
You will need 7 litres if your doing an coolant flush
Gas safe heating engineer / plumber if you need any advice just shout.

From memory (bit rusty) .... coolant system takes 13 litres of fluid so yes 7 litres of concentrate.

If changing coolant type you will need to flush thoroughly. Recommend removing a hose from the rear heater to assist.
