    1. Mga Peeps Ask Ko Lang What Brand Ng Coolantang The Best Yet Affordable?
    2. Pati Ba Sa Water Reservior, Coolant Din Ang Ilalagay?

    prestone coolant concentrate is still the best..50-90% dillution to manila pure(cheapest distilled water) is good

    premixed coolant (no need to add weter, just pour nalang) is cheaper: 250/2 or 4 liters yung prestone premixed sa ace..

    pero kung titipid ka: manila pure distilled water--wala pang 50 pesos ang 6 liters...

    be sure na totally flush mo muna system mo to remove loose rust...

    OT: bros, kailangan ba talaga distilled water gamitin? even with our previous cars, nakikita ko dad ko ginagamit tap water lang so ganun din ginagawa ko...

    Back to topic: i also use prestone (in big yellow container)

    ^^^ Tap water kasi has hard minerals, especially calcium, kaya madaling magkaroon ng scales ang radiator. Unlike distilled. Although kung tipid mode ka, ok lang din ang tap water.

    Personally, I use Castrol coolant and Absolute distilled water.

    Best to use distilled water. Tap water and mineral water contain impurities that can cause rust and scale formation inside your radiator.

    I just use prestone premixed coolant.

    soon we'll have Purple Ice, it's a coolant additive that increases the bond of water thereby increasing the threshold before it boils.

    similar to redlines water wetter.

    yespo.
    you can do the mixing yourself.
    or you can use the pre-mixed formulation, and just pour it in.

    this is the coolant found in the market today

    prestone ... we have the concentrated and we have the ready to you kind ... the price of concentrated is i think about 140 for the 500ml and the ready to use is about 110 also 500ml or was it 300ml .... well anyways cheap but nice brands to use in coolant of cars

    quaker - other ready to use ... cheap 90 and its in a easy to open can ... so one use only

    also whiz coolant - same concept ...

    toyota is also i very nice brand ... its also caltex made ... but in toyota package for those who does know

    absolute distilled water is recommended since less impurities and higher boiling point since i think more oxidized is the term

    usually i recommend putting coolant in the reservior ... not in the radiator ... because usually coolant make your radiator rust ... so i think it is ideal to put it in the resevior not in the tank itself

    hope this helps ... based on my experience

    Check your manual.

    Usually the brand doesn't matter so much as long as it contains Ethelyne Glycol (for most vehicles)

    If you are brand conscious, use the bigger name brands.

    For our situation, it's mixed 50% coolant and 50% distilled water.

    This goes into the radiator and the reservoir.

    Distilled water is preferred is it does not have impurities that can cause corrosion in your radiator.

    Hope this helps.

    Boss ang ibig ba sabhn ng 50-50 mix is depende sa tanke? If ang radiator ko may capacity of 4.5 liters meaning ba 50% nyan distilled at 50% coolant. And sa reservoir din ba pure coolant lang o mix din

    Since parehong Toyota sasakyan ko, I just stick with the Toyota pre-mixed coolant.
    Medyo nagulat lang ako since last na bili ko I think nasa 320~350 lang for 2 liters na.
    Ngayon, going price niya is nasa 450.00 na.
