The Definitive Guide to Radiators

Copy pero ok lang ba 1 liter premixed plus distilled water? Or dagdagan ko ng ibang brand like petron? Checked sa net mukhang 3.8l capacity ng picanto.

Depends on your preferred concentration level, you might need more. Bukod sa mismong radiator, maglalagay ka pa sa reservoir. also, dont mix different types/brands of coolants.

pre-mixed coolant isn't supposed to be added with water (may it be distilled or not), unless during emergency situations. if you are going to replace the tap water, use pre-mixed coolant until the radiator is full.

You would want to drain it first before replacing the coolant.

hello...ask ko lang kung normal ba yung madaling maubos yung coolant doon sa coolant reservoir niya...napapansin ko kasi na ang bilis maubos yung coolant liquid niya.

i don't think so.
if the cooling system works fine, that reservoir won't need any top-up for a long time.
i haven't added coolant in my vehicles in over a year now. one of them is 10 years old (topped up once or twice only, from new)... one is 1.5 years old (still haven't topped up)..
look for leaks. look for under-performing aux fans. look for dirty radiator exterior.
err... what vehicle, po?

Any comments on fabricated brass radiators? Wala kasi available sa casa, mag import pa daw, 2 months waiting time. May leak na kse between sa plastic top at aluminum part. Would you suggest temporize muna with epoxy while waiting or replace na with fabricated brass radiator sa evangelista? Orig radiator 14k, fabricated brass 5k lang. TIA

Replacement na plastic/aluminum, i think around 3k or less lang ito. Marami sa Banawe
