Magpapalit ng Coolant

[master32]

Mga sirs,

Help naman po ulit mga sirs, yung radiator ko kasi ngayon eh tap water lang ang laman. Bale balak ko palitan ng coolant yung radiator ko. Balak ko eh ako na lang ang mag drain para menos gastos. Tanong ko lang po ang mga ito:

1. Proper procedure sa pag drain ng radiator?
2. Proper procedure sa paglalgay ng coolant?
3. Anong coolant ang magandang gamitin for Honda City '98?
4. Pano po yung mixture ratio ng water and coolant?
5. Pag po naglalagay na ako ng coolant with mixture of water eh dapat bukas makina ko?
6. Ilang liters po kaya yung need nitong radiator?

Since you are using tap water it would be better if you use "Frestone Radiator Flush" to remove some sediment inside your radiator core before changing coolant. Follow direction before doing so.

Now when you done with that just loosen the drain plug from the radiator,and let drain,put a water hose to the radiator and start the motor,(donot closed the drainage)and let water run thru it till you just see clear water pouring out,but make sure you keeping on eye the temp gauge.

When water is clear turn off engine/turn off water hose/ drain all out remaining water in radiator/ closed the drain plug.

Fill the radiator with pre-mixed fresh coolant 50/50 mixture. Clean water reservoir good remove all tap water pour coolant into minimum level/start the engine/ wait till radiator fan start(note: watch carefully on coolant level, add if needed) / turn off engine pour the remaining coolant into radiator and reservoir max level(do not overfill). Replace both cap/ closed the hood, grab an ice cold beer........then enjoy.

Para malaman mo kung ilang liters laman ng radiator mo .I drain mo radiator mo may drain plug iyan at sahurin mo muna sa timba dito malalaman mo kung ilang liters laman ng radiator. Pagkatapos mo ma drain i flush mo ngayon ang tubig habang nakalagay ang water hose para maalis lahat kalawang at debris kahit umaandar makina mas maganda para umiikot circulation ng tubig. Pag malinis na bumili ka ng prestone coolant okay na yan. 50% distilled water + 50% coolant ilagay mo sa radiator . Check mo rin iyong radiator cap baka sira na . Kung may reservoir ng coolant iyang sasakyan mo tangalin mo muna at linisin mo loob maraming latak iyan sa loob at ibalik mo ulit at lagyan mo ng mixture ng coolant at distilled water. Kung okay na siguraduhin mong mahigpit na ang drain plug ng radiator mo. I start mo engine kung ayos na lahat at tignan mo kung may leak sa radiator hose ,drain plug huwag mo munang ilagay radiator cap para maalis iyong hangin sa loob kung ayos na ilagay mo na iyong radiator cap . Obsebahan mo na lang ang Temperature gauge.

nice tips. akala ko kelangan pa i-drain from the engine block. 'di na pala kailangan

sir, ask ko lang din po dito kung kelan po yung time na kelangan ng magpalit ng coolant? wala pa naman po akong problema when it comes to temp, nasa max level pa yong coolant sa reservoir at puno pa yong sa radiator. just want to know when is the proper time. tia mga sir

pwede na ang yearly dito. kung gagamit ka ng pure concentrated coolant, bili ka nalang ng pre-mixed coolant na available sa market. mas mura pa ito compared sa concentrated. 350 petot lang for a gallon. 50-50 na ang mix nito.

testament11,
so the prestone brand will do sir? ano po ba advantage nung pure concentrated coolant sir? anyway thanks po

testament11,

yup, prestone ang brand nun. kung ano ang advantage, i think pareho lang sila. yun nga lang, sa pre-mixed, wala ka nang iisipin kung accurate ang pag-mix mo o hindi

[trx333]

ok. salamat po. i will try prestone later. sana nga lang 350 petot ang bentahan per gallon dito samin ehehe

Hep!!!!!! hold on there pardner! I guess testament 11 made a typo for saying pure coolant. Do not and again do not use pure coolant on radiator it has to mix w/ 50 parts distilled water(not tap water) its standard or your car will overheat.

Let me explai why.

Anti freeze basically serves 2 purposes, 1) prevent the engine coolant from freezing in low temperatures, 2) inhibits corrosion formation in the cooling system.

The coolant in your cars engine consists of part water and part anti-freeze, never 100% anti freeze. Why you ask? Well, it is because water below it's boiling point is better able to absorb heat from the engine and carry it to the radiator than the primary chemical (ethyl glycol) that is used to make anti freeze. Too much concentration of anti freeze solution in your coolant system can actually cause your engine to be more subject to boiling over in hot climatic temperatures.

Because water works better in higher temperatures to cool and anti freeze is the property needed to prevent freezing, a trade off is necessary for the coolant to perform most efficiently, year round.
Hopefully this will help you understand about coolant.
