    Correct: 50% coolant/ 50% distilled water. How many liters? Depende sa laki ng radiator mo.

    get the premixed na so you would not worry about the 50:50 ratio. imho, yung prestone is premixed na so buhos na lang yun.

    Get the 5 or 6 liter container of Absolute distilled drinking water, it’s cheaper.

    TS, if you will use the concentrate, pour a liter or 500ml coolant then followed by the same volume of distilled water hanggang mapuno. prepare at least 2 liters of concentrated coolant at least. sobra na yun.

    pag premixed ba pwede ilagay dun sa container ng coolant? kasi sa sasakyan namin nasa minimum level na yun coolant resevoir. eh may stock dito sa bahay ng prestone.

    maraming salamat sa mga replies. to be safe i'll buy a 3Liter Prestone Concentrate coolant and (2) 5Liter distilled water. mas maganda na siguro sobra kesa magkulang. nasira kasi waterpump ko kaya naubos lahat ng coolant, kaya eto no choice kelangan pagawa ng water pump, drain and refill ng bagong coolant.... Gastos na naman.

    Mga Sir, ibig sabihin bawal pala lagyan ng tap water ang 'coolant reservoir', dapat coolant talaga like Prestone ready mix?

    for added info about coolants, search ka lang sir daming topic tungkol dito.

    di naman bawal ang tap or galing sa balon or known as mineral water, kaya lang malakas siya maka kalawang kaya mas maige ang distilled water. marami namang medyo murang distilled drinking water like sm bonus, absolute or yung sikat na wilkins. best shot siya kung ihahalo sa anti boil coolant.
