Do you use radiator coolant?

[Jigga]

Yes, you should. Coolant is not only for the radiator, it is also for the rest of the cooling system which involves the water pump, etc.

I mix coolant with distilled drinking water. Check the specific coolant you will be using for the correct mix (unless it's pre-mixed).

You need to drain the whole cooling system. That includes water within the water jackets and other areas. Your mechanic should know how to do this.

Intervals vary with vehicle. Check your owner's manual.

Otep,

I assume your car is manual. I think that it should be ok. Afaik AT cars have bigger radiators compared to manual. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong.

Just use a 50/50 mix of distilled water and coolant or just buy the premixed stuff. Replace every 2 years.

In most cases the radiator for the A/T variant is of the same type or is more robust/high cap than the M/T's. So, as previously posted, it's ok.

Radiators for A/Ts are similar in size to M/Ts, pero may AT cooler line for the transmission

Medyo pricey din ung prices ng mga coolant eh..

Some say it should be replaced every 2 months to 6months because the weather here sa Pinas is mainit..

Baka daw pumanget ung rad..

What do u suggest na magandang brand, ung ok and medyo nde pricey...

Every 2 months? Baka naman ahente na ng coolant ang nagsabi sa iyo niyan. :lol:

Ako nga I just use 2 liters Whiz concentrated (Php180/liter). Tapos every 2 years ko lang napapalitan (around 30-40,000kms).
