mga tsikot peeps...maganda bang maglagay lagi ng engine coolant?..sabi kasi ng brod ko tubig lang pwede na at minsan mas nakadadagdag pa raw ng residue ito...napapadalas kasi akong maglagay ng coolant sa car lalo nat pag summer at heavy traffic...

the usual specs sa radiator is 50% tubig and 50% coolant. afaik, kung tubig lang, magiging prone to rust yung loob ng radiator mo, not to mention na syempre, mas mababa boiling point ng tubig, mas prone to overheat ang car mo. remember that water boils and evaporates at around 100 degrees centigrade, and your car engine's temperature goes beyond that.

kung napapadalas ang lagay mo ng coolant, hindi dapat ganun. coolants don't easily evaporate and nandyan lang yan sa loob ng radiator mo. always follow the 50% 50% ratio.

50/50 eh bakit yung binili kong coolant e sabi sa label 1:2 ilan % kaya yan.

Hindi pareho ang timpla ng formulas ng mga coolants depending on their brands. Kaya iba iba rin ang ratio ng mixtures ng tubig.

Basta huwag lalampas ng 50% coolant kasi masyado nang matapang yun. As much as possible. Kalahati lang ng dapat ng amount ng tubig ang coolant or even less pa (~40%).

Kapag walang coolant, kakalawangin ang internals ng cooling system. Coolant is not only a coolant. It is also a lubricant and anti-corrosive agent.

Dapat once a year (or even less) ka lang mag lagay/palit ng coolant. If you keep losing coolant. May problema ang sasakyan mo.

50% 50% yun. for every 1 part of coolant, add 2 parts of water.

hindi ah 50/50 meaning the same amount. 1:2 masmarami ang water. 1 part coolant 2 parts water, ilan percentage kaya.

sir... based on experience ... mas nakakasira ng radiator ang plain water... madaling mag overheat at madaling masira radiator.. and kung luma na car ninyo.. i-drain ninyo radiator once a year..
