    Hi! Good Day Guys, I bought a used 2012 Suzuki Swift 1.4L Manual Transmission tapos nag plan po ako na palitan ang engine coolant nya.Okay lang po maya na ung Pink na Pro 99 Brand ang gamitin ko? Ang naka lagay po sakanya ngayon ay Green? Pro 99 is the cheapest available coolant po kase PHP 340 for 2 Liters na unlike ni Prestone PHP 500 1 Liter lang.TIA

    baka concentrated yun preston na nakita mo
    diluted (ready to use) should be around 150-200 per liter lang AFAIK

    btw nabasa ko di interchangeable ang red/pink coolant sa green coolant

    I suggest to drain/flush the old coolant before you use a totally different coolant brand. I would also recommend Prestone over the Pro 99. Ratio is 50% coolant and 50% distilled water.

    Agree.
    I think Prestone is better than Pro 99.
    But if you can afford it, I think it may be best if you will use the OEM suzuki coolant intended for your swift.

    Malaki ba ang price difference ng oem coolant sa aftermarket? Baka konti lang so better off mag oem na wala pa sakit ng ulo

    do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

    Stick with OEM or at least something close to it. Yung L300 namin green ang stock nilagyan ng Abro na red nag overheat kasi may namuong coagulants. Nagmistulang gelatin yung ibang parte kaya hindi mag flow nang maayos.

    Kung desidido kang magpalit flush talaga dapat. Walang palitan ng coolant hangga't hindi klaro yung lumalabas na tubig.

    Ok yung Abro na red o kaya yung mga premixed na pula kasi wala silang antifreeze kaya mas mataas ang boiling point. Pero hindi recommended na direct refill, i-fllush talaga dapat. Nasa 200php pababa kadalasan yung mga premixed/prediluted coolants. Yung ibang mura kapag binasa mo ang label nakalagay 70/30 mixture - 70% water, 30% coolant kaya olats.

    I operate 16Grab cars since 2014. I've used Pro99 since 2016, both green and pink, both works. I personally prefer the green variety, easier to check vs discoloration that tells you to change the fluid.

    I change all fluids once a year. Yes, full flush before fill

    Never did I have overheating, unless the aux fan breaks down

    No coagulation, no rusting, no noticeable difference

    Even compared to just plain absolute distilled water

    My personal belief is hindi dapat tinitipid ang mga ganyan maintenance. Totoo sasabihin ng iba pare-pareho lang engine coolant or yung gagawa ka na lang ng sarili mong combination ng water and coolant mixture. Mga modern engines like yours ay dapat ginagamitan ng original fluids to avoid corrosion inside the engine and better cooling efficiency. Mas alam yan ng car manufacturer like Suzuki kung bakit yun ang engine coolant na ginamit nila. It is basically a mixture of many different chemicals suited for that type of engine. Yung matitipid mo ngayon ay baka mas magastos pa in the future pag nagkaroon ng sira sa engine mo. One time gastos lang naman yan. Hindi ka naman gagastos ng todo todo every week or every month. Yung original Long Life Engine Coolant ng Toyota ay nagamit ko lang 1 time in 5 years. Imagine, dahil ginagamit ko original from Toyota walang mga leaks and corrosion ang engine ko. Well maintained and super linis inside and out from top to bottom. Just my two cents.
