Coolant mix Ratio
 
Hi,

What radiator coolant mix are you using for Central And South America? Or is it worth changing the mix for better cooling efficiency?

- Manufacturer spec is 50% Glycol / 50% Water.
- More Glycol equal lower freezing point and better boilover point.
- More Water equal better heat transfer, lower boilover point, maybe more corrosion?

Thanks,

Patrick

Usually 50/50 is best mix. Look at the instructions on the coolant and some have a chart for other mix ratios for heat ranges.

No reason to futz with coolant - just go by the book, will work fine everywhere except Siberia in the winter. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/smile.gif And although that's been done, only by loons...
