wat coolant do u all recommend? my car is toyota vios 06" it's about 3 years old and last time i check the coolant, i see the coolant become brown colour (more like chocolate colour) and i though it is normal coz i think there r coolant available in brown colour  is it really gt rust inside radiator or something? if i need to change new coolant i need to flush the whole thing? how much does it cost? if 1 bottle of coolant that that cost RM180 and enough for 1 radiator with a bit left over, does it consider expensive?

QUOTE(moon* @ Jan 22 2009, 09:08 PM) ohh.. i have no idea of the brand u just mention; but most of my frens are using the common long life toyota coolant; so far okay ah. wat car u using?; normally i tink a 1 liter coolant + another 1 liter of water will do. yes; normal tap water will create rust; wat i do is; i buy the coolant pour out the 1 litre into the rad; den i get those drinking water from petrol station; those with the WHITE caps; i was told the WHITE CAP water is normal water; no mineral wan; the blue ones got mineral. take the white wan n mix lo. But wat u do is; MIX them first; b4 u pour them in la. if not the result u might get like those kopi kau; kopi on top den all the milk at the bottom. my car is vios 2nd gen lar, already mention before this wat is i use PURE coolant only without puring in water? is all the radiator volume the same?
