    I am new to coolant/cooling system and I am a diyer I want your opinion about coolants..

    Is it necessary to do a coolant flush?
    How would we know if there are build up already so flushing is needed?
    Is radiator cleaning the same as flushing the coolant?

    Thanks in advance guys.

    suzuki? why are they still using old-fashioned coolant these days we already have OAT organic acid coolants that last 10 frikkin years

    just drain then fill your coolant w/ the correct type. i wouldn't bother flushing, coz you'd be replacing the old-fashioned coolant so often anyway...

    You mean no flushing required?

    no need for flushing....rust happens when owners use water alone...

    Between 2-3yrs ang coolant lalo na kung high mileage.

    With that period kung hindi naman bababa sa minimum level ng reservoir yung coolant okey na na hindi mai-sakto sa high level.

    Replaced coolant of my 5 year old car. No significant dirt or rust found..

    Replaced coolant of my 18 year old car. Suprised that no rust or dirt found too.. even the main ports from the engine looks new!

    Never use water talaga sa cooling system to prevent rust formation

    10 years na ngayon ang mga bagong kotse, bago magpalit ng coolant. It should be written in your manual.

    E diba po pag nag flush ng coolant, ginagamitan ng pure distilled water hanggang luminis, edi masama pala yun po?

    Note:
    distilled water is generally good sa radiator

    Tap water and mineral water is bad.

    Yan ang difference ng water terms sa radiators.

    Ano po ba ang nilalagay sa loob ng radiator cap pag binuksan? Direct Coolant po ba or distilled water lang po ba?

    if you drain and fill... you fill and purge via radiator cap.
