Most manufacturers recommend draining your radiator and replacing the coolant every 20,000 kms or 2 years.

nagtataka kami kasi car namin (96 elantra) di pa na ddrain or overhaul yung radiator. still works fine nga e ni hindi pa rin kami nagdadagdag ng water or coolant since we first got it. i guess maganda yung factory coolant nya kasi green pa nga eh. no signs of rust yet. :mrgreen:

pinakamatagal na sa coolant yung 5 years...Extended Life Coolant 'ika nga...siguro time na rin para palitan 'yan sir Agent J para mas alaga pa

sir buknoy2002 kahit di na gumamit ng radiator flush lalo na kung wala namang bara yung radiator niyo...kahit tubig lang para mawala yung dating tubig at coolant(kung meron man)...

Yup, pwede nga tagal coolant ng 5 years with extended life coolants. Di ba ganito and Caltex Coolant Sir Chieffy? :mrgreen:

yup yup yup :mrgreen: ... matagal pa nga sa life span ng mga radiator caps :mrgreen: nagpalit na ako ng coolant last month dahil more than 2 years old na ride ko...susunod na palit ko na eh sa year 2008 8O

sir buknoy2002...yes sir palitan nyo na po...siguraduhin nyo pong ma-drain lahat ng tubig at lumang coolant mula sa radiator at engine(yung iba may drain bolt sa engine yung iba wala) kapag nagpalit na kayo...part po naman ito ng maintenance..
