    it could be minerals from the water you used or rust. Are you using ground water?

    yup accumilated rust.. kung may time ka, pa- top and bottom overhaul mo yang radiator mo (genaral radiator overhaul)

    depende sa size, 900 to 1500 lang yun... kaysa naman maging cause pa yan ng overheat mo....which can lead to bent cylinder head...

    Putik? Kulay Milo? Naghahalo na rin ba yung tubig at langis sa loob ng radiator at reserve tank, pa-check mo na rin yung headgasket. Baka may tama na.

    Pa-flush at pa-overhaul mo na rin mo na rin yung rad mo para sure. Mura lang naman, P450 lang ang top overhaul.

    But it might not be enough to remove the rust that have accumulated at the bottom of your radiator. Think of mud that has time to thicken over time. A simple hose with running water will not be enough to remove it.

    Rust might also be clogging the small passages of your radiator fins so an overhaul would be needed to clear them of these rust deposits.

    Try the Lavramon service (kay Autotechnika meron... and i think kay JP Wheels in Paranaque din). Cleaning only the radiator won't be much help as the sludge will also be inside the engine cooling channels (*where the coolant runs through in the engine block) so once you clean the radiator, chances are it will get dirty again.

    What does oxalic acid do? And how are you supposed to use it?

    Turco, isnt this a brand of rust converter?

    May radiator flush na ba Turco? Alam ko meron sila rust converter, pero its meant to be painted on a metallic surface, not poured.

    Hindi rin ako familiar sa oxalic acid.

    it's not a radiator flush your right as it is a rust converter but it it is a good product used as radiator flush, use it only as a cleaning agent flush out after administed not intended to be left inside the radiator
