Subject: Re: Two Newbie Questions About Coolant by whalepirot on 2013/11/17 4:12:44 After making the huge mistake of using 100% water, thinking it'd be very short term, I stay close to 50/50 (distilled is cheap) for anti-corrosion in these multi-alloy engines. BMW and Toyota sell $35/gal coolant which, as far as i can find out, is specially formulated to empty the customer's wallet; oops, I mean maximize corrosion protection in their engines. My aluminum radiator had a generous coating of something, which I removed using a MB procedure of 10% acetic acid w/ water, running the engine to warmup, then flushing/refilling with coolant. |
