I swear they make this shit more difficult than it needs to be. Coolant never went bad in the old days the additives were the part that failed. They used to sell the lubricant and rust inhibitor all you needed to add every so often . I was told the Dexter cool issue has been fixed I saw the vid on KZitem as well I just purchased dex cool recently a brought that up. I was told that changes had been made to stop that issue of sludge in coolant . I was also told not to mix coolants but you could switch but need to have only that type. In the old days fluid color was to let you know what was leaking or point to a certain system. Great info things change all the time and you defiantly do not want to void someone's warranty, this is where color would come in yellow in a car that should be red you get where I'm going. The other issue may be type of gasket material chosen by the car companies wrong fluid could have an unwanted effect on the material . Thanks T

Great vid with a lot of needed details for those who know the basics and those who think they know :) ... Quick question as I'm not from the US... I have a 92 305, which I guess uses the same as a 350 - which begs the question- what will you use for your 350 ? Will this be good in my 305? Thanks!!
@TonyTheTechnician

Eyal Rotem thank you and ya both 305 and 350 used the same back in the day they basically only had green and yellow and I know basically everyone just ran a 50/50 of the green. I will have to ask my father which coolant he ran in his nova bc that is where my engine came from. but also when you order like an after market radiator it will sometimes say which coolant is recommended for it.

David Young it's not to hard to do a simple flush of just draining old and running water through until you get all the old out then make sure to drain all that water and put in the new or your shop has a machine that will actually pull that old coolant out. thank you for watching. really glad you enjoyed

Hey guys,i'm confused in coolant choose.Because, i read a report about tests of 6 popular coolant goods in china,including the "Universal Coolant" Prestone、Mobil、Shell...,only the BMW coolant pass the test, which the minimum reserve alkalinity is no less than 10 mL HCl 0.1 N. I don't know it's a regional problems or no.So,what's your usual choices?? look forward to your reply. 3QQQQ.

You can put OAT into an older car with IAT in it. It's backwards compatible. If you put IAT into an OAT system, you'll shorten the lifespan of the existing system. Now, if you mix OAT with HOAT or POAT, then you risk more.
