If you can find a REdline water wetter that would be great.

" WaterWetter® is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems which reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 30ºF. This liquid product can be used to provide rust and corrosion protection in plain water for racing engines, which provides much better heat transfer properties than glycol-based antifreeze. Or it can be added to new or used antifreeze to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems. Designed for modern aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass and bronze systems. Compatible with all antifreezes, including the latest long-life variations. "

Tried and tested.

Water wetter is great. But it's quite expensive over here. Probably not worth it for most of us who just drive average joe commuter cars.

Mix only compatible types. When in doubt, don't.

Actually Dexcool also uses ethylene glycol. The difference is the anticorrosives. Dexcool uses OAT, conventional coolants use silicates, etc

For top ups, put 50/50 mix of h2o and coolant sa coolant overflow tank. Ito yung plastic tank na malimit nakasult coolant only. Fill until full level only. It will go to the radiator by itself.

engine coolant and radiator coolant are the same.

Magkano yung watter wetter dyan? Dito sa US I saw one for $6/bottle sale yata.
