Hi fellow Ford Fanatics,
I am heading to Adelaide in winter,would I require anti-freeze in my radiator?
I live in Brisbane..have never been down south...I drive a XR6 '04 model.
Any advice would be great..........thanks

For just Adelaide, no, you wouldn't need anti-freeze to prevent your coolant freezing. Unless you were in a region where it snows, like the high country in Vic and NSW, it would be unlikely the temperature gets below 0 at any point in winter

Spot On! Adelaide does not reach below freezing at anytime, I've been here 15 years and the only thing you will need is a servicable aircon in summer. Welcome to the greatest place on earth! (Slightly biased)

And maybe a generator to run the air-con......

Your car should already have anti freeze/coolant in it from factory
