Recommended Brand of Coolant?

[number001]

What is a recommended brand of coolant?

I remember about a post a few weeks ago somewhere here in tsikot, insinuating something negative about Prestone. At the same time, the poster recommended using coolant from Caltex.

This is for an old 96 Corona EX Saloon.

Thanks!

erm, what's wrong with prestone?

there are probably alot of tsikoteers that use prestone as coolant, me included

A poster in one of threads here in tsikot just mentioned avoid prestone so that got me curious.

Anyway, I have the impression that different brand coolants seem very similar if not the same.

I'm curious about the opinion and experience of other people here.

I also use prestone coolant on my two cars no problem at all on my SR i use Red line Water Wetter expensive but worth for the money.

prestone pre-mixed coolant naman ang gamit ko para no need to timpla-timpla the 50-50 formulation, hahaha!!!

much cheaper ang bumili ng pre-mixed kesa sa bumili ka ng concentrated at maghahalo ka pa

Been using prestone ready-to-use coolant.

the gauge seldom go the mid range even under the scorching heat of the sun and enduring a bumper to bumper traffic condition at edsa and quirino highway, considering that my ride is a bit outdated.

So far so good.

Matagal kami use ng prestone sa luma naming cars. ok naman.

We also used the one from shell. ok din.

OT:yung mga radiator stop leak na product medyo ingat lang dahil kaya nuon mag block ng linya ng radiator resulting to engine overheat!

Shell Coolguard OAT. This is the stuff in the orange bottle. No complaints.

*testament11 / *excalibur..mga sir ito ba yung prestone antifreeze, antiboil na yellow yung plastic container then kulay green yung liquid? tapos naka-indicate din na "do not add water"

I am sticking with the toyota long life coolant for our ZZ.
