60Patrol

Hi,

I was just wondering what coolant people in Australia are using?

I generally use Penrite products and they have a few different types of coolant. Which one do I go with for the G60?

Previously I have been using Nulon concentrate ( green ) and mixing to 33%, it's caused me no problems, but...

A recent trip I made to a local radiator shop gave the owner an opportunity to braindump some of his knowledge on me ( for an hour and a bit ! ) - I do have considerable faith in his opinions ( and workmanship ), he's been in the radiator game for decades, he's an independent store owner ( not franchised ) and even to my somewhat cynical eye he doesn't seem to have a barrow to push - but I can only pass on what he recommended without any personal experience to back it up.

He recommends AC Delco DEX-COOL ( red ) on the basis it is effective, long life ( 5yrs/240000km ), is compatible with any residual anti-freeze in your system, and doesn't have any of the nasty chemicals like borate, nitrate, etc. that can cause pump seal issues - and for the tree-huggers it also claims to be biodegradable if you choose to believe that.

cheers,
D

Yeah mate I second that. Always used that in my other patrols, always happy with it

Thanks!
