![]() ![]() Glad it died a proper death and that some poor sucker didn't buy a poorly neglected tacoma. Which one was it? Died from impact of f250 at 55 mph like your signature says or 75 like you now claim? ![]() Oh wait that won't work if your coolant is red/pink also. When I look at the Prestone coolant and see some red/pink color I can assume that transmission fluid could be mixing in. A very simple DIY any one can perform at home. Red line Super Coolant with Water Wetter. Side note: When I was 16 and starting to work on cars I was told to look at leaks like this: yellow is coolant, red is transmission, clear is power steering, brownish is engine oil. Walmart Coolant For HondaConcentrate, must add distilled water. Redline Water Wetter vs Amsoil Coolant Boost Test Results for Coolant. Unless you are trading in and don't care. The Redline MTL works really well in higher mileage manuals where the synchros. 10 years or 100K miles is way too many to start seeing what is going on with the cooling system. Yes both are the same for the second change except for 100K additional miles for Prestone.Īs someone who replaces coolant every 2 to 3 years anyway it doesn't make sense to buy the more expensive brand. Prestone being an aftermarket product has to cut the advertised lifetime expectancy to what the Toyota branded coolant claims for the second change. ("Ethylene glycol is an acid alcohol, it becomes corrosive when the inhibitors loose their effectiveness"). We are talking second change interval not original fluid replacement.īoth Prestone and Toyota branded coolant contain this. I agree your recent statement of 5 years (or 150K miles) replacement is valid for Prestone. I will let everyone know what happens.Yes sir you are right. Then I will try distilled water, wetter water and 20% coolant. ![]() I think I will put a thousand or so miles on it with the distilled water and wetter water, Then Flush, Flush, Flush - I will Flush with hot water. We have also had a Block Cleaner used when we took it in to have the Toyota thermostat installed. I hope that if this is the case (clogged due to sealer additive) that the multiple flushing and the use of the wetter water has dissolved it. Thinking back on this (Monte Carlo) it was actually the hardest engine overheating I ever diagnosed. In one case it ruined the radiator and the engine had to be disassembled to remove the hardened stop leak from the engine block cooling passages. Quote I have also seen a few cases where people have added multiple cans of radiator stop leak to a vehicle. Your final draining and refilling cleared up the restriction or possibly the Wetter water affected the clog. The sealer coagulated somewhere in the system and caused a blockage or restriction. Previous owner had a radiator leak and used a sealer, which did not work so replaced radiator. You stated the Toy had a new radiator when purchased. The color of the antifreeze is simply a dye and has nothing to do with makeup of coolant.Ī guess from the shade tree mechanic peanut gallery. Redline Water Wetter Unique agent for cooling systems that doubles the wetting ability of water Rust and corrosion protection allows for use of straight water. With several flush and fills your anti freeze has not been the same, the only thing that has been consistent has been the overheating. Now I wonder if this issue with the red and green coolant being used together may have been why I continued to overheat, or if the new Distilled Water and "Water Wetter" is really why I am now not overheating? Does anyone have experience that may lead to a conclusion? I got green coolant from the radiator and red coolant from the block. Not only did the red and green not mix, they stayed separate. ![]() In the process of draining the coolant I discovered that there was still "Red Coolant" in the system. After having the new radiator installed I took it for a test drive and it overheated worse than before the newer bigger radiator? I decided to drain the existing "Green Coolant" to try a product called "Water Wetter" by Red Line. When it was still overheating I took it to a Mechanic to have a larger Radiator installed, The mechanic came out and asked if it okay with me if they use Green Coolant, I said sure makes no difference to me. Mandibuzz relies on its opponents own Attack stat to deal. After having my Head Gaskets replaced at a Toyota Dealership my Winnie was returned to me with Red Coolant in the Radiator. What puts this Water- and Ghost-type a little ahead is its ability to perform a different role. ![]()
