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

akala ko ung coolant basta ibuhos na lang dun sa plastic na lalagyan nya sa tabi nung radiator, ok na. may mixture percentage pa pala

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.

ilang beses po nagpapa-drain o nagpapalit ng radiator coolant sa loob ng isang taon?

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.

mejo nalilito din ako
