good engine coolant

[miked]

to check rad cap:

compress if it can be compressed (for pressure relief when it exceeds rad cap rating)

pull the inner spring if it can be pulled (for vacuum relief, when coolant cools it contracts thus creating vacuum in the system)

May naka subok na ba ng Fleet Guard na Coolant? part number is DCA60L.... Ginagamit din to coolant sa mga generator at iba pang engine.. lahat halos ng ka officemates ka gumagamit neto....
Ako hindi pa.. kasi tubig pa gamit ng car ko... at kelangan ko pa radiator cleaning muna bago mag switch sa coolant...

Dear eat:

In most radiators, there is a drain plug on the bottom that can be reached from underneath the radiator.

It is usually a metal or plastic screw with a rubber washer. You can loosen it with a pair of pliers but be gentle - or you may break it.

To drain the radiator, WAIT TILL THE ENGINE IS COLD, then remove the radiator cap and loosen (do not remove) the drain plug, it usually has a slot cut in it to facilitate draining after it has been loosened a few turns.

The best and safest way to flush your radiator is to just add a pure distilled water like Absolute and then drain 1-2 liters away every weekend when the engine is cold.

Refill with more distilled water to make up for the amount you flushed - remember to fill the overflow reservoir too.

Because it has no minerals, the distilled water will slowly dissolve dirt and minerals (scale) that has built up in the engine.

Flushing out some of that, 1-2 liters will, over maybe a year will inevitably carry out most of the stuff.

Hope this helps.

I bought this Castrol Coolant Concentrate. Is it ok to use it instead of the distilled water?

It is ok but don't use pure coolant ha, half lang or 50% dillution gawin mo.

I use Poison coolant from Caltex. The best in the market. Good for 5 years or 200,000 kms.

Ako hindi nagamit ng coolant sa corolla 2E engine ko ever since tubig lang. Draining every 2 months. Nakakasira ng radiator at water jacket ang coolant

kasi sir, kung 50/50 ang mixture, hindi dapat yan masisira. and bawal maghalo ng iba ibang types ng coolant. baka naman naghalo siya ng ibang types kaya nasira. mag-gel talaga yan.

Lam mo ang coolant kumakain ng bakal yan then mag leleak sa mga water jacket o kaya sa radiator. Sayo may coolant ako wala ever since
