How do you guys change your car coolant? Btw fun fact for your car cooling system. Any type of water only - Bad Tap water / mineral water + coolant - can use but not recommended Reverse osmosis water + coolant - can use but not recommended Distilled water / soft water + coolant - Good Factory premix coolant only - Best

What my regular mechanic told me. Only change engine oil n filter. Other kind of oil only need to top up if became less. This is what he said when I ask him to change my steering n brake oil

You just need coolant that prevents rust. You don't need expensive antifreeze coolant. Our weather doesn't get cold enough for that.

I just know if u didnt burp the coolant until all air come out, around 20-30 minutes usually, your temperature will be higher by 5 degree for my car.

Even for coolant need to partially change it by drain the radiator at least (40-50% change).

Yeah thats why some say for our climate, even 15% coolant 85% water is enough. I agree we dont need the antifreeze in coolant, but if too less coolant...im afraid the rust prevention additives (prevent coolant become too acidic + prevent rust) is too little. Like maybe few months use finish liao and rust starts forming. As each coolant manufacture didnt state it. So finally its still best if use premix only.
