As long as you premix it with distilled water. :thumbsup:
Yeh that's a must I know, but are there any benefits to using concentrate over premix and visa-versa? I use Castrol Anti-Freeze/Boil...would it be beneficial both function and cost wise to switch to concentrate? It's like 40bux for a 3 litre bottle of concentrate and 21bux for a 5 litre bottle of premix.
I just want to know whether the amount of concentrate can make up more diluted mix than you'd get in a bottle of premix. Example: premix = 5l, concentrate = 3l but can make up to say...10l(?) considering the typical mix ratio is 33% concentrate and 67% distilled water. I'm crap at maths so just wanting to see if anyone here has any experience with a concentrate.
Cheers
Do the instructions for the concentrate say 33% concentrate and 67% water ratios? If it does, then I'd just buy the premix since they are almost the same final price!
Whoa, cool. I'll get concentrate now...it'll save a heap I would think with the same sort of function.Quote:

Concentrated if u mix yourself can make up alot of litres.
Depending on what ratio you use, with mine, its 33% for basic, and 55% for performance.
I spoke to the tech department at Nulon who said all their coolants have "nil silicates....they are silicate free" and are safe to use in Hondas. I'll probably use this diluted to 33%. Instructions say you can mix to 50% and you'll get life before needing to change it and higher boiling point but I think it's over the top.
Can anyone tell me what the OEM coolant glycol concentration is in g/L?
mate use 33%.
And a touch more ;)
where/what is the cheapest source of distilled water?
Kmart, 3bux a bottle :) Not sure it's it the cheapest but it's cheap enough! :D
Same :DQuote:
Been using Castrol Anti-Boil/Freeze for the past 3 ye
i dont bother with anything apart from Honda premixed type 2 coolant. Made for Our engines. Works fine daily and track and you replace it every 2 years. Dont be a tight ass.
