Tue, 11 February 2003 10:44 Hello all for coolant use the same one that is used with the car. The reason is if you mix and match the different brands of coolant in the radiator would cause some major issues. 1. Different brands uses different levels of glycol in a set volume and they would have different additives which could cause reactions to the coolent which does major blockages in the radiator. It as happended to me when using factory coolent then flushing it and adding k-mart coolent (nulon). 62% of the radator was blocked so i had to flush it again after a week and replace the radator and paid someone to flush it properly. 2. Different brands of coolent might cause damage to the headgasket and other seals on the cooling system. The coolent might cause a reaction on the headgasket and water pump seal to destroy itself as i had personal experience from it. Always use the same coolent which the came with. so if you want to know coolent matters? i hope this would make you decide. [Report message to a moderator]
