buknoy, hindi naman mag overheat yung sasakyan pag walang coolant (only water). most jeepney hindi naman gumagamit ng coolant pero hindi naman nag ooverheat. kahit nga yung lancer box type namin hindi din nag overheat kahit distilled water lang gamit namin.
alnr, best thing to do is to check your owner's manual. depende din kasi kung ilan yung laman ng radiator sa sasakyan mo. or pwede din drain mo yung laman ng radiator then fill it with water by liter. para ma measure mo ilang liter ang kasya. then drain the water again and this time fill it with 50/50 mixture of coolant and distilled water. what i did before was I use an empty 1 liter bottle then fill half a liter of distilled water and half a liter of coolant. then saka ko binuhos sa radiator until mapuno yung radiator and sa max ng reservoir.

You fill both the radiator and the reservoir (jug) with the correct mix on most vehicles (separate cap for radiator and reservoir). If the coolant reservoir and the radiator have only one cap, that is where you fill.
I use 50/50 so I don't have to worry so much about diluting the mixture during top-ups.

August 30th, 2006 04:17 PM #18Can you mix different brands of coolant but same type or not? Ex caltex mix with prestone. Also if the manual says use dexcool type coolant will it matter if i use a different type say ethyl glycol?

Normally 50/50 ang recommended ratio ng manufacturer but you can
decrease it to 80/20 because tropical climates like Pinas, useless na
ang properties niya to prevent freezing so the anti-boil and rust properties
na lang ang habol natin.

Actually, coolant is recommended even in tropical weather. Tech&tuner did an excellent article on this, also.
Basically, at 50/50, your boiling point is raised higher, so your fluid will have less chance to boil over, at lower ratios, the boiling point of the fluid is lower, and the possibility of having water boil at cavitation points within the engine increases.
While it's possible to run engines on 100% water, a 50/50 mix will give you much better performance.
And like I said a few posts (and a few months) back, there are already systems using 100% coolant (not off-the-shelf stuff, special coolant), and the guy I talked to who uses it for his racing car says it gives much better performance than a mix.
Choice I would have made as well.:nod:
