Questions in keeping our Car Cool during Summer Time

[jimiboi]

Ano mas okey distilled water or coolant?
May tint or wala?

Coolant

When: Every Fuel Stop
Check your car's coolant level on the outside of the reservoir while the engine is cool. If the level is close to or lower than the "LOW" mark, add coolant up to the "FULL" mark. If the reserve tank is empty, remove the radiator cap (Do not open when the radiator is hot!) and refill as required. After filling the reserve tank and the radiator, reinstall the caps and check that the rubber gasket inside the radiator cap is in the proper position.
IMPORTANT: Use the coolant recommended in your Owner's Manual only. Use of other coolants may result in corrosion.

Distilled water only, i dont add coolant for some reason.

syempre mas okay ang may tint, bawas radiation and init from the outside and also to hide important things inside the car.

I dont think that he is asking question but rather giving a "tip".

ano yung reason bakit hindi ka gamit coolant?

[raine]

tipid mode?

Distilled water will prevent mineral deposits from forming when using tap or mineral water, while coolant will prevent corrosion especially if your cooling system comprises of aluminum parts, as well as increase the boiling point of your system so your car won't readily overheat. I'd give it a 50/50 mixture to be safe.

^^^ Agree here. I normally use a 50/50 mixture of coolant and distilled water.....

Also, tint is a big help.

Pure water actually cools the engine better than a coolant/water mix. However, water boils at 100C, a little higher in a pressurized enviorment like your radiator.

Water/coolant mix will be hotter than pure water, but coolant increases the boiling point as well as provides corrosion protection and lubricates the water pump. A 50/50 mix in a sealed radiator will have a boiling point of around 126C.

Question: ilang degrees centigrade ba bago considered overheat ang kotse? Kasi most temp guages only show a red zone, actual temp is not shown.

guys may mali ..

did you all noticed binebenta majority ng mga coolant dito satin is ANTI-FREEZ .. dba dapat sa bansang may mga winter climate dapat yun?

napansin ko lang .. hehe

diba dapat anti-boil?

[Type 100]

Mag-coolant na lang kayo, or whatever is indicated in the manual.

A lot of newer cars have aluminum-core radiators. Using plain water alone in those things is a recipe for corrosion.

pareho lang ang antifreeze at coolant. Ang antifreeze ay may antiboil properties din.

ano yung reason bakit hindi ka gamit coolant?

i just dont trust coolant, 100% distilled water. Ang recommend ng mga radiator shop, common probem kaya nagbabara ang radiator dahil sa coolant; maybe misused, wrong mixture or no pms on coolant.

anyway its up to if you want to add coolant, in the long run you will see the effect of using coolant.

^^^marami ng coolant na "pre-mixed" so no need to add water....kung galing sa CASA brand new naka coolant eh, so might as well just follow it...

[kinyo]

i also use coolant for my car ... it gives better protection for long-term use

summer or not, i always use my folding shield (across the windshield) to protect the dahsboard from absorbing to much heat and of course it also helps cool the cabin

^^^as much as possible don;t park under the sun, hanap ka ng covered parking

[ikaw_ngaba]

mawalang galang na po. gusto ko lang malinawan, ito po bang distilled water eh yung para sa baterya? sensya na po sa tanong..maraming salamat po.

[userfriendly]

ikaw, distilled water na drinkable Absolute o Wilkins pwede rin SM Bonus. Basta wag mineral water.

[umzzzzz]

would you still use coolant if your radiator is made of copper instead of aluminum?
distilled water is really good para maiwasan ang corrosion.
mas maganda syempre may tint.
mas ok rin kapag nakapark ka sa shade.

salamat kaibigan sa paglilinaw..
