choosing the right coolant, this is a good read from popular mechanics ! Options

[Culpable04]

I've seen some water pumps failed in a matter of 4 months ( OEM pump on a camry 2001 ) and some engine badly corroded for something as simple as topping off your coolant with the wrong stuff,.

I know a lot of you already know this, but for those who don't and a reminder for the ones who have forgotten.

yup i am one of the few people who OCD about coolant.

Front what i can tell, you can use any coolant you want as long as you do a complete flush and replace with the new coolant. Along with using distilled water only.

mixing coolant = mud and good bye to your engine and heater core.

Yep, should be able to use anything you want as long as you flush the whole system and mix with distilled water.

That muddy crap that gets churned up sucks, I had to flush my Miata's system every few days for like a month to try to get that crap out when I bought it.
