:D hello there !!! ano po gamit nyo na coolant ?ano po ba ok na brand ? maraming salamat po !!!! :lol:

prestone coolant! yung color yellow na lalagyan...prestone coolant! yung color yellow na lalagyan...prestone coolant! yung color yellow na lalagyan...

mahal prestone... punta ka sa Ace hardware megamall. meron don 108/Liter. pare-pareho lang naman content ng coolants e. glycol + anti-rust + dye = yung neon green color is just a dye. use 50/50 blend with distilled -- take note, distilled not mineral water.

Any brand of coolant would do.

The cheapest one is the one sold by Petron. The best I think which claims to last for 5 years or 200,000 kms is the one sold by Caltex (The one I use).

hmmm clarification lang. is this true for antifreeze also? kasi i noticed the antifreeeze+coolant they sell at pricesmart is even cheaper. would this be okay for our climate?

roydok, the best iyan! :twisted:

maxwell,

IMHO 1 liter ng Caltex extended life coolant at distilled water lang kailangan mo...tama si roydok, Caltex claims na 5 years itatagal niyan(as long as walang leak ang cooling system ng kotse mo)

malapit na summer....kailangan na kailangan ito...hanap na kayo ng shops na hindi pa nagpa-price increase ng mga lubricants and other automotive specialty products...

hintay mo lang iba pang recommendation ng iba...

Chip,

di naman kailangan niyan dito sa atin...galing sigurong country iyan na may colder climate(actually repacked lang din ng CPInc. yung coolant nila dito)...as long as may coolant yung fluid walang kaso kahit may anti-freeze agents pa iyan...

Chip,

basta ethylene glycol yung active ingredient ng coolant, it would automatically confer BOTH anti-freeze and anti-boil properties to the solution (would lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point), and it would probably have rust inhibitors as well. in other words, ethylene glycol aqueous solution is BOTH a coolant and an antifreeze

in other words, we still need antifreeze here in the tropics

**chieffy** · March 4th, 2003 09:59 PM

mbt is correct...

dagdag lang...
-pure ethylene glycol boils at 187.2 degrees Celsius
-water boils at 100 degrees Celsius

-pure ethylene glycol freezes at -13.3 degrees Celsius
-ethylene glycol with 50% water solution freezes at much lower freezing points = -36.6 degrees Celsius
-water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius
-tropic temperatures don't go below 0 degrees Celsius...the anti-freeze property of ethylene glycol is just a bonus for users in the tropics...

maraming salamat po sa mga replies nyo !!!!

**Chip** · March 6th, 2003 04:48 PM

Sirs mbt and chieffy

maraming salamat po for the replies. i guess ill check muna the ingredients and if it IS ethylene glycol, then ill buy it. Thanks again sirs! :D:D
