antifreeze
hiya
antifreeze is also a lubricant as well as a coolant.....the better quality ( ie, the more exspensive) the better it is, as well as a lubricant it contains corrosion inhibitors. i always run 50/50 distilled water antifreeze mix on all my engines be they cars, bikes, generators or whatever. summer or winter and have never had any problems. just one word of caution. try to use the same brand and dont mix brands , and change the antifreeze avery 18 months at the most some say 2 years or yearsly but i top up with a pre-mix and flush and change every 18 months.
hope this helps
