We've got >10 year old cars na never nag overheat walang bara or leaks ang radiatior with 50:50 to 70:30 water:coolant mix.

+1

avoid using tap water it contains minerals which can lead to scaling and deposit formation. tingnan nyo airpot nyo puro scaling sa bottom

Ang term ko dun is, nagpuputik. Literally, nagkaron ng putik yung radiator dahil sa coolant..

Sa mga gumagamit ng coolant, wanna try kung meron putik yung radiator nyo o ang engine? Yung car ko kase, mahilig lagyan ng coolant. Pero maski me coolant, nag overheat pa din. Yun pala, clogged na ang radiator dahil maputik na sa loob.

this is impossible. why? pre-mixed coolant ngayon ang nasa cooling system ng pajero ko. pero kung hahanapan mo ng putik, none. yung fx namin, tap water lang ang nakalagay, pero yun coolant reservoir niya, puro na putik/latak or kung ano man yan. coolant is somewhat, the "engine oil" ng cooling system natin. and coolant is mixed with distilled water, where wala siyang residues or minerals na nakapaloob. so its impossible magpuputik ang radiator mo using coolant.

so another thing, useless ang coolant pag TAP WATER lang ang gamit mo. if you will be mixing coolant with water, use DISTILLED WATER, or better yet, buy the pre-mixed ones, kagaya ng prestone. at hindi lang yan, mas mura ang 1 gallon ng pre-mixed kesa sa 1 liter ng pure concentrated coolant

Follow-up question lang po. Mga ilang liters ang kailangan na premixed coolant sa normal sedans? Mga 2 liters of premixed or 1 liter concentrated colant 1 liter distilled?

You can't generalize that it's the coolant that's causing this problem.
