    anong type ba ng cooling system ang meron ang iyong tsikot? the ordinary reserved/return system or the pressurized (yong hindi mo pwede buksan ang reserved bottle while hot)?

    kung ordinary type pwede ka prestone, kung yong isa eh stick with the recommended coolant type

    same here, okies na ang Toyota coolant or prestone pre-mixed. ayaw ko ng gumamit ng concentrated na coolant, sabi sa label mag-concentrate daw, ayun ala naman nangyari, naloloko lang ba. ngek...

    If its for a Benz, I wouldn't use any other coolant except the OEM MB coolant or at least the Febi brand coolant, both are available at Delodur (German Motors)

    If you have relatives in the US then you could do what I do, buy the only approved aftermarket coolant for MB, Zerex GO51, its available at most auto parts store in the US then have them ship it here, malaki ang kamurahan sa OEM coolant and it does the job well.

    Benz yan at hindi Toyota, kaya wag magpapaniwala sa mga recommendation about Prestone or Toyota coolant, Di ko alam kung may adverse effect ba yung Toyota coolant pero yung Prestone masyadong matapang lalo na for models with aluminum cylinder heads, eventually kakainin nya yung aluminum and it will require a replacement of cylinder head which is very costly.

And lastly, ALWAYS use DISTILLED WATER mixed with coolant

    Yup, it is for my w202 sir... As i browse thru different threads ng MB club worldwide kagabi... Most dont recommend using prestone or any other coolant aside from MB coolant or Zerex nga sir... But theres a few who still uses prestone for their MBs...
    But, i wont take the risk siguro hehe... I'll try to contact delodur. And yes, distilled water sir! Thanks!
