Found an old bottle of standard engine coolant. looks to still be sealed. Says, warning not recommended for alloy engines after 1984. Complete fill corrosion inhibitor, Type B coolant. Not suitable for those vehicles where anti-boil anti-freeze coolant is recommended. Not sure how old it is. would it 1. be expired, and 2. be any good to anyone? thank you

Both. It is most likely expired. And probably no good at all to use. Coolant only lasts four years

Down the toilet is the bed place for it, you wouldn't use it in anything remotely modern. That fourth statement is a strange one, if it hasn't got anti boil qualities it would have to be used in a pretty high pressure system, something old cars generally didn't have.

Type B coolant contains corrosion inhibitor only. No glycol anti freeze. I think it is used in Oz mostly and some racing applications. You must never mix this with a normal antifreeze coolant, always drain and flush first.

I bet it's the Supercheap stuff that used to be sold for something like $4 a bottle.
