Been using Castrol Anti-Boil/Freeze for the past 3 years. Does the job well and waterpump hasn't given way yet. Engine's still running strong after 300,000kms+. Only began using OEM stuff recently but I don't notice any sort of different in coolant temps.

I use nulon , the performance one, pretty standard stuff.
My mechanic (hannys) use it, probably because its cheap but I trust their opinion.
Will probably get some oem stuff though.

i think it same shit around but

$10 tectaloy from supercheap. I seem to change it so often that spending any more would be pouring money into the garden.

Besides, it's cheaper for me to replace a waterpump than spend $10+ per LITRE for coolant.

I have emailed Nulon to see if their coolant has silicates. The slackers haven't replied yet but I'll let you know what I find out.

honda coolant is $50 for 5 litres, and your supposed to change it every 120,000kms.
which is what, average6 years? lol, $50 of 6 years isn't much

It's been replaced around once every 6 months for the past 3 years, be it a full engine change, radiator change or a head change. That's over $300 saved (I need over 6L to fully fill) which is enough for two water pumps. Bonus that I can spill it, boil it, or just plain lose it and not feel guilty

lol, well that's just in circumstances that you can't forsee, so i reckon, it's still good

So what's the opinion on what type of coolant to use? Premix? Or Concentrate? I've been using premix without a problem, but just thought about whether you could save money mixing your own coolant with concentrate...How much will a typical bottle/jug of concentrate cost, and how much coolant will it make?

Cheers
