nagkaroon lang ako ng minor problem sa bago kasi nakalimutan ko palang i tighten yung atf cooling lines ayun pag test bumaha ng atf sa sahig. 😞

How much? From casa?

Dyan ako nagpabili sa Manila. 7500. Di ko alam anong brand. Pero looks OEM. 7500 petot only. Pinadala ko nalang sa kakilala.

Puwede na iyan. Just use the correct coolant and remember to follow the coolant change interval tatagal din yan.

paano ba malaman?

What’s the normal coolant temperature? I’m getting 97c to 104c during stop and go traffic at 12 noon. Nag max ako ng 110c during uphill pero my temp gauge never moved beyond 1/2.

Reliable ba tong coolant temperature reading from obd port or mas reliable yung gauge?

Yes it’s pa66-gf30 naka tatak. Bakit? Ano ibig sabihin nito?

I got curious and googled it.

So are these oem grade? Or is it superior?

Anyway, my coolant temperature atm is 96c at idle. My fan clutch is okay. I can hear the fans roar. Sadya bang mas mainit mga old engines compared sa mga bago? Yung sta. Fe 2.2 namin 82c lang yung coolant. Yung everest 3.2L naman nasa 86c.

Baka kailangan na din magpalit ng thermostat and thermoswitch?

ano nga ba ang normal temp ng coolant dito sa atin?

If I'm not mistaken, it should be above the normal boiling point of water. That is the reason why radiator cap has a pressure rating. If you pressurized the water, the boiling point also increases. The higher the temperature of the jacket water, the higher is the thermal efficiency.

This is not to say that it should go all the way up and it should perform better. There are material limits and other factors to consider.

I just don't know why this is not followed for large engines, for example, engines with piston diameter of 900 mm. Usual jacket water temperature is maintained between 80 - 85 degrees Celsius.

^ how about on 2 liter gas engines? My car averages something like 90c according to my obd2 reader

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

I believe that is within the normal range. However, please take my word with a grain of salt. I'm not an automotive engineer but an ordinary employee who finds time in reading.

There are guys here who mentioned about PV=mRT with KJ/kg thing, I think they are more competent to give a better answer to your question.

^ thanks bro.

I haven't tried it on our diesel rig yet. Will do it soon

I'd say go with OEM.

I'm sure there's a good reason why car makers use plastic on the radiators.
